Abstract

[fre] Dans cet article nous montrons d'abord que, contrairement à un résultat de Sraffa, il est possible — sous certaines conditions — de définir plusieurs marchandises homothétiques sur la base du même système de production originel. Cela nous permet de montrer que le prix relatif de deux marchandises étalon différentes change quand la répartition du produit net se modifie ce qui prouve que la thèse de «l'invariabilité» de la valeur de l'étalon présentée par cet auteur n'est pas correcte. D'autre part, nous examinons l'argumentation développée par Sraffa pour établir cette thèse et nous montrons que sa démonstration est insuffisante. [eng] In this article we show that — contrarily to one of Sraffa's results — it is possible to build, under certain conditions, several different homothetic systems of production on the basis of the same original system. This fact permits us to show that the relative price of two different standard commodities changes when there is a change in the income distribution, which proves that Sraffa's thesis about the «invariability» of the value of the standard commodity is mistaken. Besides, we analyse the arguments presented by Sraffa in order to prove this thesis and we show that his demonstration is not correct.
