Abstract

[eng] The object of this paper is to show the contribution of J.-M. Keynes about the international standard of measure. Part one emphasizes the importance of the unit of account and the standard — which measures the stability of the former — in a monetary economy. In part two, the orthodox theory about international standard of measure, i.e. purchasing power parity, is studied. Part three describes the contributions of Clearing Union's project about the unit of account and the standard in international economy. J.-M. Keynes has a unitary theory of the money of account. It results from this a conceptual rupture between national economy and international economy. [fre] L'objet de ce texte est de rendre compte de l'apport de J.-M. Keynes en ce qui concerne la conceptualisation de l'étalon de mesure en économie internationale. La première partie souligne l'importance de l'unité de compte dans une économie monétaire et, par là-même, celle de l'étalon qui mesure la stabilité de la monnaie de compte. La seconde partie expose la conception orthodoxe de la mesure en économie internationale, à savoir la parité des pouvoirs d'achat. La troisième partie met en avant les apports du Projet de Clearing Union en matière d'unité de compte et d'étalon en économie internationale. L'approche de J.-M. Keynes repose fondamentalement sur une conception unitaire de l'étalon, ce qui le conduit à souligner la rupture conceptuelle entre économie nationale et économie internationale.
