Abstract

[fre] Le but de cet article est d'identifier l'une des raisons pour lesquelles Ricardo prend position dans le débat sur la monnaie. La lecture de Le cours élevé du lingot, preuve de la dépréciation des billets de banque (1810) révèle deux significations différentes de la "mesure étalon de la valeur". Elles montrent l'importance accordée par Ricardo à la protection des intérêts des "hommes d'argent" qui financent l'accumulation. [eng] In this paper, we want to clarify one of the reasons of Ricardo' s position about money. The study of The high price of bullion, a proof of the depreciation of bank notes (1810) reveals two different significations of "the standard measure of value". They show how it is important for Ricardo to protect the interests of "moneyed people", that is the class of men who finance accumulation.
