Alain Etchegoyen (6 November 1951, Lille – 9 April 2007, Le Mans), was a philosopher and novelist. He was the last Plan Commissionner before that Commission was abrogated. He wrote some twenty books, essays and novels.
A former student of l'École Normale Supérieure, he was a professor in classes prépas at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, and in a professional lycée in Hauts-de-Seine.
Career

In 1985, Etchegoyen founded the Association de l'édition du Corpus des textes philosophiques de langue française. In the middle of the 1980s, he created a consulting company, with Michelin among its customers. At the end of the 1980s, he led the takeover of the faience maker Géo Martel.
