Abstract

[eng] The analytical argument justifying the evolution of Patinkin's position on the method employed in the General Theory leads to a severe ambiguity : the Keynésien model is supposed to express Walrasian interactions as well as Marshallian partial equilibrium. Patinkin synthétises his position by using a mysterious paraphrase of Genesis, which expresses, as we show, the predominance of the Walrasian method. Interactions are the only reason given by Patinkin to explain the connection between the Keynesian model and the Walrasian method. This paper shows that they are only a necessary condition because mis model also has important commun points with the classical tradition which separate it from Walras. [fre] L'argument analytique justifiant l'évolution de la position de Patinkin sur la méthode employée dans la Théorie générale débouche sur une profonde ambiguïté : le modèle keynésien est censé représenter aussi bien l'interdépendance walrasienne que l'équilibre partiel marshallien. Patinkin synthétise sa position en utilisant une paraphrase mystérieuse de la Genèse qui exprime, comme nous montrons, la prédominance de la méthode walrasienne. L'interdépendance est la seule raison que donne Patinkin pour expliquer le rattachement du modèle keynésien à la méthode walrasienne. Cet article montre qu'elle n'est qu'une condition nécessaire car ce modèle présente aussi d'importants très communs avec la tradition classique, qui l'éloignent de Walras. [spa] El argumente analitico que justifica la evolution de la position de Patinkin acerca del método empleado en la Teoria general desemboca en una profunda ambigüedad : el modelo keynesiano es considerado a la vez como representation de la interdependencia walrasiana y del equilibrio parcial marshalliano. Patinkin sintetiza su posicion utilizando una parafrasis misteriosa del Genesis, que expresa, como mostramos, la preeminencia del método walrasiano. La interdependencia es la ùnica razon que esgrime Patinkin para explicar la conexiôn entre el modelo keynesiano y el método walrasiano. Este articulo muestra que se trata solo de una condition necesaria, pues dicho modelo présenta asimismo importantes rasgos comunes con la tradition clâsica, que lo alejan de Walras.
