Abstract

[fre] Cet article analyse le rôle des hypothèses d'uniformité de la composition technique et en valeur du capital dans la théorie ricardienne de la valeur-travail. On montre que la première — beaucoup plus restrictive que la seconde — n'est pas nécessaire pour expliquer la relation salaire-taux de profit dans un système à techniques invariables. Par contre, elle est absolument nécessaire pour une étude générale de la répartition qui inclut la rente et qui admet que les conditions de production de toutes les marchandises peuvent se modifier indépendamment les unes des autres. On propose un schéma général qui met en évidence les limites de l'interprétation de Sraffa en ce qui concerne la définition du taux de profit dans les Principes. [eng] Analysis of the role played by the hypothesis of uniformity both in technical and value composition of capital in the Ricardian theory of labor-value. It attempts at showing that the former (which is much more particular that the latter) is not necessary for explaining the profit-wage ratio in a system with given technologies. On the other hand, it is absolutely necessary in a general study of distribution which includes rent and which admits that production methods of all goods may be modified each one independently of the others. A general scheme is suggested whereby the limitations of Sraffa's interpretation concerning the definition of the rate of profit in the Principles are set forth.
