Abstract

This paper is divided into three sections: a critique of certain post-keynesians U.S. economists is contained in the first section concerning their hypothesis of a fixed "markup" coefficient in the price-wages relation. Contrary to Kalecki who spontaneously admitted a flexible "markup" in a fixed price-flexible wage relation, it is demonstrated that the U.S. post-keynesians stand is isomorph to the monetarist approach. Cet article se divise en trois sections : la première contient une critique de certains post-keynésiens, notamment américains, concernant leur hypothèse de la rigidité du markup dans la relation prix-salaires. Contrairement à Kalecki qui admettait volontiers la flexibilité du markup face à la rigidité des prix et à la flexibilité des salaires, on démontre que la position de cette école de pensée est isomorphe à l’approche monétariste.
