Abstract

[fre] En marge du modèle Arrow-Debreu et de son système complet de marchés contingents, une nouvelle littérature économique se déploie dont le substrat commun est l'organisation, et non plus le marché. Cependant, aussi bien la théorie des contrats que l'économie des conventions qui en composent les deux piliers continuent d'entretenir un lien ambigu avec le marché. L'objet de l'article est alors de montrer que la Richesse des Nations d'Adam Smith révèle une claire et nette séparation entre le marché et l'organisation. Celle-ci peut alors aider à lever certaines des difficultés liées aux débats actuels sur l'organisation versus le marché. [eng] The new economics of organizations lighted by the invisible hand. . A new economic literature develops downhill from the Arrow-Debreu model of complete competitive and contingent markets which studies the organization, neither the market. However this new economics with its two branches — the economics of incomplete markets and the economics of institutions — maintains an ambiguous connection with the market. The aim of this paper is to show the Wealth of Nations contains (in its Book one) a clear distinction between the market ant the organization. On the basis on this distinction, the topical debates in economics receive a new light.
