Abstract
L’Etat Moderne, an original contribution to state reform of the civil servants of the Finance Ministry (1928-1940) In the constellation of 1930s reform groups, L’Etat Moderne had a very distinct character. Both a discussion club and a specialized review that made an original contribution to thought on state reform – its sole subject of analysis and action – it consisted mainly of mid-level civil servants in the Finance Ministry actively involved in civil servants unions. The variety and practical nature of their proposals for reform in matters concerning taxation, the budget, accounting, parliament, institutions and administration show the determination of this group of technicians to turn their competencies to the management of public affairs and thus contribute to the renewal of the state model at a time when the parliamentary regime had been weakened by the war.
