Abstract

[fre] L'objet de l'article consiste à montrer comment trois exemples tirés de l'histoire de l'analyse économique illustrent la possibilité de représenter les phénomènes concurrentiels et les obstacles qui empêchent leur mise en oeuvre, au sein d'une conception particulière de la concurrence. Ces trois exemples se réfèrent à l'approche classique, à l'analyse de J. Hobson et à l'œuvre d'E. Mason. Cette conception privilégie le processus et non l'état ; elle privilégie les conditions d'offre et non les formes de marché. Elle débouche sur une autre interprétation de l'histoire de l'économie industrielle. [eng] The paper considers three examples taken from the history of economic analysis. They emphasize the possibility to characterize competitive phenomena and their restrictions, within a particular conception of competition. These three examples refer to the classical analysis, to John Hobson 's analysis and to the work of E. Mason. This conception stresses the process more than the state ; it rests upon supply conditions more than on market forms. It allows the introduction of an alternative history of industrial economics.
