Abstract

[eng] This paper tries to construe as fully as possible the context in which the movements of market prices, either monopoly or competition ones, may get their full meaning in the Wealth of Nations. First, it replaces these movements within the framework of Smith's reproduction and accumulation model. Second, it identifies what the specific role played by rents is, as opposed to wages and profits. The outcome is that movements of market prices are much more complex than they are generally conceived. Even the competition market prices cannot be simply viewed as converging towards or diverging from some natural positions, which are entirely determined by the conditions of production. The movements of both types of market prices should rather look like the gravitations of planets towards a sun, which is itself shifting. [fre] Ici nous essayons d'analyser le contexte au sein duquel les mouvements des prix de marché, de monopole ou de concurrence, acquièrent leur pleine signification dans la Richesse des Nations. Tout d'abord, nous resituons ces mouvements dans le cadre du modèle de reproduction et d'accumulation de Smith. Puis nous précisons quel est le rôle spécifique des rentes, en l'opposant à ceux des salaires et des profits. Le résultat est que les mouvements des prix de marché sont beaucoup plus complexes qu'on ne l'estime généralement. Marne les prix de marché de concurrence ne peuvent pas âtre simplement conçus comme convergent (ou divergent) vers leurs positions naturelles, entièrement déterminées par les conditions de production. Les mouvements des deux types de prix de marché devraient plutôt être comparés aux gravitations de planètes autour d'un soleil, qui lui-même se déplace.
