Abstract

[fre] Keynes, comme tous les économistes, se réfère à un Etat-sujet politique sans en faire la théorie. Il introduit cependant une rupture profonde, notamment avec la micro-économie et « l'économie appliquée » selon Walras. Sa conception des agents économiques, « actifs » et « inactifs », met en question non seulement les droits des « rentiers », mais toute la représentation des individus propriétaires. Elle légitime une intervention financière de l'Etat sur l'Investissement comme pivot d'une politique de l'emploi. Les incertitudes et les limites de la « macropolitique » keynésienne ne mettent pas en cause son originalité par rapport à « l'économie sociale » préconisée par Walras. [eng] Keynes, like all the economists, refers to the State considered as a political subject, without providing the theory of it. Nevertheless, he introduces a deep break, in particular with micro-economics and "applied economics" according to Walras. His conception of economic agents, divided in "active" and "inactive" ones, questions not only the rights of rent-owners, but also the whole figuration of individuals as owners. It legitimates the use of financial State intervention on investment as pivot of the employment policy. The uncertainties and the limits of the keynesian "macro-policy" do not prevent it from being original as compared with "social economy" praised up by Walras.
