Abstract

Identifier comme normale la coexistence de formes monétaires distinctes dans les sociétés modernes conduit à interroger un postulat économiste fondateur, qui consiste à concevoir la monnaie comme parfaitement fongible (autrement dit, les avoirs monétaires sont indifférenciés et interchangeables), et d'où il résulte que les relations entre monnaies sont analysées au travers du critère de concurrence. Ce texte vise à revenir sur ces deux points, fongibilité et concurrence. La thèse développée est que la façon dont les monnaies sont articulées ne relève pas nécessairement de la concurrence. Une explication majeure est l'imparfaite fongibilité des monnaies. Ce texte propose ainsi une analyse systématique des cloisonnements monétaires et une étude de ses conséquences, en déconstruisant le concept de fongibilité au moyen d'une grille de lecture théorique rendant compte de la diversité des pratiques monétaires et des formes de la monnaie dans les sociétés modernes.
