Abstract

[fre] On cherche à montrer que le plan du Capital, qui part de l'exposé de la valeur travail au livre I et aboutit aux prix de production au livre III, ne reflète pas le mouvement heuristique de la pensée de Marx. Le renversement de l'ordre d'exposition fait apparaître que la théorie marxiste de l'exploitation, et en particulier le mécanisme de la plus-value absolue, ne dérivent qu'apparemment de la théorie de la valeur travail, alors qu'elles en sont en fait indépendantes. Cette relecture permet de montrer que l'opposition entre Marx et Ricardo tient à leurs interprétations différentes d'un système de prix de production, fondées sur deux analyses opposées de la relation salariale. [eng] This paper is intended to show that the framework of Capital which starts with the statement of the labour theory of value in volume I and ends with the production prices in volume III does not correspond to the heuristic movement of Marx's thought. By reversing the order of exposition, it appears that the Marxian theory of exploitation, and more particularly the mechanism of the absolute surplus- value, whereas they seem to stem from the labour-value theory, are in fact independent of it. This rereading allows to show that the opposition between Marx and Ricardo lies in their different interpretations of a production price system, based on two conflicting analyses of the wage relation.
