Abstract

L'ambition des Néoclassiques est d'établir une loi scientifique de la répartition qu'ils expliquent essentiellement de deux façons. La première explication est fondée sur la productivité marginale des facteurs déterminée à la production. La seconde est fondée sur l'échange qui détermine la rémunération des facteurs ou leur « prix » sur le marché. Or, ces deux déterminations ne sont pas compatibles. La théorie marginaliste écarte d'emblée une grande partie de la réalité économique représentée par les rendements croissants et constants. Elle limite encore son champ en supposant que sur une quantité fixe d'un facteur on peut employer n'importe quelle quantité de facteur variable, hypothèse nécessaire pour établir la productivité marginale des facteurs. Cette exigence écarte une autre partie de la réalité économique où les combinaisons de production sont imposées par la technique de production. Les courbes de l'offre et de la demande qui sont susceptibles de déterminer la répartition n'ont pas les mêmes fondements, ce qui constitue une limite en soi. Cette théorie est fondée sur une fausse analogie; la détermination marginaliste n'a pas sa source dans la détermination de la rente ricardienne. Enfin, la détermination marginaliste de la répartition aboutit à une confusion entre le prix du facteur en tant que bien et la part du facteur dans la production, ce qui est un non-sens. La détermination wairasienne est fondée sur les prix relatifs. Or, cette détermination ne permet pas de connaître la part de chaque facteur dans la production.
