Abstract

Nous montrons que l’aphorisme de Louis Blanc peut s’interpréter comme un cas particulier du principe de compensation étudié en théorie axiomatique de l’allocation des ressources. Nous identifions le modèle le plus général dans lequel la proportionnalité aux facultés et aux besoins n’entre pas en conflit avec l’efficacité, et nous montrons qu’il n’y a en général pas de conflit entre le principe de compensation, qui généralise l’aphorisme, et l’efficacité dans un modèle plus général. Nous concluons sur la nécessité de remettre l’hétérogénéité des besoins au coeur de l’économie normative.
