BIO
Olivier Pilmis’ current work proposes an economic sociology that draws on the sociologies of risk, of labour and professions, and of science and technology. It focuses on how individuals and organisations deal with uncertainty, by inquiring into the ways they anticipate general movements in the economy. Every economic crisis, from the Great Depression in the 1930s to the crisis brought on by the lockdown in 2020, by way of the Great Recession of 2008, underscores the impossibility of unravelling the mysteries of the economy’s future.
