This is a new era. An era of multiple and complex crises. An era in which international financial institutions, led by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), have abandoned many of their previous beliefs, based on neoliberal principles. These principles have long been criticized by the few economists who have gone against the grain. Successive crises since the beginning of the third millennium paved the way for this era, during which the IMF made important revisions at the intellectual and discursive levels. Starting with the global economic crisis of 2007-2008, through the Arab uprisings since 2011, then under the weight of the growing discourse of inequality in economic thought by Thomas Piketty and his team, and finally, in 2015, with the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
