Abstract

[fre] Cet article concerne la définition proposée par Keynes de «l'école classique». On sait que l'auteur de la Théorie Générale s'oppose explicitement à Marx sur ce point, puisqu'il exclue A. Smith du champ de l'analyse classique. . On se propose de rendre compte de cette exclusion en montrant qu'existent encore chez A. Smith les agents économiques désignés sous les termes de «prodigue» et de «projector», le premier confondant capital et revenu, le second employant mal le capital. . On montre ensuite comment ces deux types d'agents disparaissent de l'analyse ricardienne après l'adoption définitive du principe selon lequel «l'industrie est limitée par le capital», forme ricardienne de la loi de Say. [eng] This paper aims at justifying this exclusion by showing that economic known that the author of the General Theory held opposite views to those of Marx on that point, since he left A. Smith out of the field of classical analysis. . This paper aims at justifying this exclusion by showing that economics agents identified by the terms «prodigal» and «projector» are still to be found in the Wealth of Nations, the former confusing capital and revenue, the latter misemploying the capital. . Those two types of agents are then shewn to disappear from ricardian analysis when Ricardo had definitively adopted the principle «industry is limited by capital», the ricardian form of Say's Law.
