Résumé En m'appuyant sur la "Théorie des Sentiments Moraux" d'Adam Smith, je me propose d'analyser et de développer mon hypothèse selon laquelle la tricherie est inévitable dans le domaine social. Les acteurs de Smith qui ne cessent de se tromper eux-mêmes parce qu'ils ne peuvent pas prendre un point de vue impartial, sont comparés à l' homo œconomicus comme modèle standard des agents économiques. Mon analyse vise à démontrer qu'Adam Smith et les économistes modernes arrivent à des points de vue opposés concernant la tricherie. Alors que le premier considère que la tromperie et les illusions sont cruciales pour comprendre l'échange, les seconds envisagent la tricherie en termes d'inefficacité qui entrave l'échange, et finalement le rend impossible.

This book aims at expanding and correcting "malestream" economic concepts of the exchange economy and its role in society by focusing on deception from a feminist economic perspective. The main motivation for writing the book was the realization that the prototypical economic model of exchange is notable for the total absence of deception. In standard economic models individuals are regarded as 'uncheatable'. Hence deception, even if individuals have an interest in it, cannot succeed. By contrast, the authors of this volume examine deception as the key to understanding the functioning of exchange by focusing on settings in which deception is successful in exchange. The authors draw on Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments as a starting point for a discussion on feminist views and perspectives on exchange and deception. This is supplemented by examinations of economic thought and traditional economic modelling within a feminist economic framework and by empirical insights into the situation of women
