Abstract

[eng] La théorie monétaire de Bentham, telle qu'elle apparaît dans le manuscrit Sur les prix (1801) met l'accent sur la notion de confiance, élément clef dans la détermination de la valeur du papier-monnaie. Il en résulte une analyse qui s'intéresse de manière prioritaire à la nécessité d'éviter à la fois les banqueroutes et l'inflation : l'article reconstruit alors la position de Bentham pour mettre en place un système monétaire sain, c'est-à-dire un système tel que le volume de monnaie soit proportionné aux besoins de la circulation, aux réserves des banques et à la quantité de monnaie métallique qui circule.
