Abstract

[fre] formuler. Deux raisons sont à l'origine de ce résultat : d'une part, les auteurs en question se sont appuyés sur une conception de la rente qui n'est pas celle de l'optiqtie classique, et notamment de Ricardo, pour qui la rente est une ponction et non un coût de production, et, d'autre part, la formalisation mathématique du chapitre XI du livre de Sraffa — mais seulement la formalisation mathématique — reproduit cette conception. D'où l'autre conclusion à laquelle ont abouti les auteurs en question : la conceptualisation de Sraffa est en contradiction avec l'optique classi­que de la rente. La rectification de la formalisation mathématique du chapitre XI, dans le double prolongement de l'optique ricardienne de la rente et de la méthodo­logie d'ensemble du système de Sraffa lève le malentendu qui a orienté le débat vers des perspectives théoriques en contradiction flagrante avec l'observation de la réalité empirique. [eng] Sraffa's status of rent : contribution to a recent debate. Lahouari Addi. The last controverse, concerning rent, raised up by chapter 11 th of P. Sraffa s book, have lead to the conclusion that the order of land fertility is not the one of their respective profitabilities and this order depends on the price System, and consequently on distribution. We have to admit that the empiric reality is at variance with this result, but the important is not so much the confrontation of the empiric reality with the stated result that to understand how the authors defined it, particularly G. Montani and after him P. Vidonne. Two reasons explain this result : on the one hand as for the authors, hey have based their opinion orp a conception of rent which is not the one of the classical point of view and especially of Ricardo's. For him, the rent is a puncture and not a production cost. On the other hand the mathematic formalization of chapter 11 th by Sraffa — but only the mathematic formalization — takes up this conception. From that, these authors have bronght other conclusion : Sraffa s conceptualization is at variance with the classical point of view on rent. The correction of the mathematic formalization of chapter 11 th in the double developments of Ricardo's point of view on rent and the general methodology of Sraffa's system, takes of the misunderstanding that turned the debate towards theoric perspectives in open contradiction with the observation of the empiric reality.
