Abstract

[fre] Une théorie du capitalisme contemporain a été récemment produite par un groupe de chercheurs : la théorie de l'accumulation intensive. Cette théorie occupe, tout au moins en France, une place dominante dans le champ de la réflexion marxiste. L'objet de l'article est de montrer que, malgré les mérites qui doivent lui être reconnus, cette théorie offre une représentation unilatérale de la nature du capi­talisme contemporain. Eri l'analysant essentiellement comme forme d'épanouisse­ment du capital, la théorie tend à l'interpréter comme une structure hyper-cohérente. D'où un problème pour rendre compte de la crise. Les auteurs cherchent à faire une lecture critique de cette théorie à la lumière de l'alternative qui lui est opposée. La spécificité de l'époque actuelle, et par voie de conséquence de la crise, réside dans une double tendance : généralisation et approfondissement poussés à l'extrême des rapports capitalistes d'un côté ; émergence concomitante d'éléments de négation à l'intérieur même de ces rapports, de l'autre. [eng] Intensive accumulation, the key to understanding modern capitalism?. Christian Barrère, Gérard Kebabdjian, Olivier Weinstein. A theory on contempory capitalism has recently been evolved by a group of french researchers : the theory of intensive accumulation. This theory holds a dominant place in the field of marxist reflexion in France. The object of this article is to show that in spite of its merits, this theory offers only a onesided view of the nature of contempory capitalism. On emphasizing a form of self-developing capital, this analysis tends to accentuate this structure as being hyper coherent. Thus leaving little or no place for an understanding of the crisis. In this critical essay, the authors have put forward an alternative point of view based on a double tendency : on one hand a massive and deep growth of capitalism, the discovery of negative elements in this contexte on the other hand.
