Abstract

[fre] Cet article montre que l'idée classique selon laquelle les différents types de travail sont évalués moyennant une échelle de rémunérations stable est à l'origine de deux critères radicalement distincts d'homogénéisation du travail, qui diffèrent tant à propos de la notion de travail homogène que de la mesure du travail annuel : l'un est formulé de manière très claire par Keynes dans la Théorie Générale, alors que l'autre est implicite dans la Production de Marchandises de Sraffa. On montre aussi que la marchandise étalon de Sraffa permet de comprendre les variations des prix relatifs qui résultent d'une modification dans les quantités de travail homogène employées dans la production des marchandises. [eng] This article shows that the classical idea according to which different kinds of labor are valued by means of a stable scale of wages brings about two radically different criteria in achieving labor homogenization, which differ in the concept of homogeneous labor as well as in the measure of annual labor : one is clearly formulated by Keynes in his General Theory, while the other remains implicit in Sraffa's Production of Commodities. It is also shown that Sraffa 's standard commodity makes possible the understanding of variations in relative prices as a result of a change in the quantities of homogeneous labor employed in the production of commodities.
