Abstract

[fre] R. Torrens affirme que l'apport majeur de son principal ouvrage est la théorie de la demande effective et l'explication de la surproduction générale à laquelle elle conduit. Sa théorie s'oppose à la fois à la thèse de T.R. Malthus et à celle de J. Mill et J.B.Say (et donc de D. Ricardo). . En partant de la définition de la demande effective proposée par Torrens nous élaborons un schéma de reproduction au sein duquel les conditions de la surproduction générale peuvent être établies. A partir des résultats obtenus : (i) nous comparons les théories des prix et de la marchandise homothétique chez Torrens et chez Sraffa, (ii) nous soulevons le problème de l'incompatibilité entre la loi classique de la concurrence et la loi de la reproduction. [eng] R. Torrens asserts that the most important contribution of his main work is the theory of effectual demand and the explanation of general glut. His theory contrasts with the theses of both T.R. Ma/thus on the one hand and J. Mill and J.B. Say (and consequently D. Ricardo) on the other. . In this paper, starting from Torrens' definition of effectual demand, a model of reproduction is built up in which the conditions for the general glut can be established. On the ground of the results which are obtained : (i) a comparison is made between Torrens' and Sraffa's theories of prices and homothetic commodity, (ii) the problem of the incompatibility between the classical law of competition and the law of reproduction is raised.
