Abstract

[fre] Après avoir tiré au clair le paradoxe métalliste de J. Law énoncé par J. Schumpeter, il sera possible de comprendre le rejet par J. Law d'une analyse en termes de valeur ou de marché. Réfutant la nécessité pour la monnaie d'être métallique et montrant au contraire ses effets nocifs dans le cas où elle l'est, il élabore un modèle nouveau d'économie, connaissant le plein-emploi et de «justes» prix grâce à la mise en place d'une monnaie abstraite, émise centra- lement. Ensuite, les éléments à la fois théoriques et pragmatiques du « Système» élaboré par J. Law seront intégrés dans un modèle de «circulation sans fuite» de quantités d'unité de compte afin de mettre en évidence les contraintes qu'assigne le rejet d'une conception matérielle de la monnaie et de la production à la possibilité d'un équilibre comptable pour une économie connaissant l'épargne et l'intérêt. [eng] After having clarified John Law's metal list paradox as stated by Schumpeter, it will be possible to understand the rejection by J. Law of an analysis in terms of value or of market. By refuting the necessity for money to be metallic and showing the injurious consequences when it is so, L. Law elaborates a new model, in which full employment and «fair» prices rule the economy, thanks to an abstract, centrally issued money. Then, the theoretical and practical aspects of J. Law's system will be integrated in a model where quantities of unit of account follow a «no -leak circulation» ; the constraints will be made clear, which the rejection of a material conception of money and production imposes to the possibility of an accounting equilibrium in an economy with saving and interest.
