Abstract

[fre] Fondements critiques pour une analyse de la dynamique industrielle. La méthode de Allyn Young. . Cet article propose une mise en perspective du texte de Allyn Young, « Increasing Returns and Economic Progress » [1928], à partir des conceptions méthodologiques développées par ce même auteur dans d'autres contributions, pour certaines récemment éditées. Sa vision du progrès des connaissances économiques, fondée sur une forme de rationalisme critique, permet de montrer pour­quoi l'article de 1928 offre une analyse originale de la dynamique industrielle. Cette analyse résulte d'une double critique des contextes théoriques smithien et marshallien dans lesquels l'auteur situe son approche du développement écono­mique. Cette lecture est ensuite confrontée aux interprétations récentes de l'apport de Young à l'étude des systèmes d'économie industrielle. [eng] Critical foundations for industrial dynamics : Allyn Young's method. . This paper is a reappraisal of Allyn Young's well-known article « Increasing Returns and Economic Progress » [1928) in the context of his methodological writings, some of them being made recently available. His vision of the growth of knowledge in economics, based on critical rationalism, is confronted to his 1928 paper. We argue that Young's own theory of industrial dynamics is the result of a critical appraisal of both the Marshallian and the Smithian contexts it belongs to. This argument is compared to recent interpretations of Young's contribution to industrial economics.
