La production était au cœur de l'économie depuis l'époque de l'économie classique. We argue that a renewed ‘productionist’ agenda is essential to address the structural challenges faced by developing countries, even more so after the revelation of structural weaknesses by the pandemic. We introduce and discuss eight articles developed around the special issue theme of Bringing Production Back into Development. In this article, we argue that the fragmentation of the production-centred paradigm has weakened both academic research and policy-making related to economic development. Even the humanist approaches to development, such as Sen’s Human Capability Approach, paid little attention to the domain of production. Several opportunities for fruitful integration of alternative streams of economics research-Evolutionary, Structuralist and Keynesian in particular-have been also missed. However, with the rise of Neoclassical economics in the late 19th century, production has lost its status as the ultimate interest of economics. Production was at the heart of economics from the days of Classical economics.
