Abstract

[fre] Projet pragmatique et projet radical chez Keynes. La portée du chapitre 17 de la Théorie générale. . Notre objet sera, au travers d'une tentative d'articulation de trois lectures critiques successivement opérées par Kaldor [1961], Benetti [1985] et Deleplace [1988], des développements menés par Keynes dans le chapitre 17 de la Théorie générale de l'emploi, de l'intérêt et de la monnaie, d'éclairer sous un jour nouveau l'ambiguïté et la portée de ce chapitre. Nous analyserons la position qu'y développe Keynes comme résultant de la tension, également perceptible dans le reste de son ouvrage, entre un projet fondamentalement « radical » et une démarche essentiellement « pragmatique », que nous tenterons tous les deux de mieux qualifier. Concluant à l'impossible conciliation de ces deux stratégies, nous tâcherons d'en tirer des enseignements pour la théorie monétaire. [eng] Pragmatic plan and radical plan in keynes : the import of chapter 17 of general theory. . The purpose of this paper will be, through an attempt to link together three critical readings, successively operated by Kaldor [1961], Benetti [1985] and Deleplace [1988], of the chapter 17 of Keynes 'General Theory, to set a new light on the ambiguity and the import of that chapter.. We will analyse the position that Keynes takes in it as resulting of the tension, also perceptible in the rest of the book, between two strategies, one pragmatic and the other radical, which we will attempt to better qualify.. To conclude, we will show that these two strategies seems to be logically irreconcilable, and we therefore will attempt to draw lessons from it for monetary theory.
