Biography
[edit]Born in Aix-en-Provence on 17 December 1944, Bramoullé graduated from the Sciences Po in 1968[2] and earned a doctorate in economics from Paris-Sorbonne University in 1972.[3]
After working for the French National Centre for Scientific Research, Bramoullé taught economics and finances at Paris-Sorbonne University, Paris Dauphine University, and the University of Picardy Jules Verne. He then joined Aix-Marseille University in 1973, teaching there until 2012. From 1976 to 1979, he was dean of applied economics at the university. He specialized in topics of social justice and economic methodology and epistemology.[4] He followed the Austrian school of economics and was a member of the Mont Pelerin Society.
In 1991, Bramoullé published a 220-page pamphlet in which he denied that climate change and the hole in the ozone layer was caused by mankind. He was highly critical of Michel Serres and the green movement, which he believed extorted "irrational" fears of the public.[5] He directed the Provençal circle of the Club de l'Horloge[6] before being replaced by Jean-Louis Garello.[7]
Bramoullé was committed to the public affairs of Aix-en-Provence, advocating for fiscal moderation, fighting public waste, and local autonomy. He served on the municipal council from 2014 to 2020 and served as interim mayor following Maryse Joissains's resignation for health reasons.[8]
Gérard Bramoullé died on 1 December 2023, at the age of 78.[9]
