Abstract

L'équilibre général n'est pas seulement une théorie formalisée dont les progrès, de Walras à nos jours, sont scientifiquement identifiables. Dès son origine, Walras en avait fait le moyen d'une réforme de la société destinée à faire advenir " la paix par la justice sociale et le libre échange ". En considérant l'équilibre général comme un savoir, on cherchera à rendre compte de la multiplicité des usages qui en sont faits dans les modélisations chiffrées, dans les débats sur les mérites comparés des systèmes économiques ou comme référence pour définir des programmes de recherches scientifiques, etc. En distinguant des registres de savoir, on se donnera les moyens pour comprendre qu'un même savoir constitué, l'équilibre général, peut avoir des interprétations contradictoires, des usages variés où se combinent des aspects opérationnels, théoriques, méthodologiques ou politiques. L'objectif est de construire une " autre " histoire de l'équilibre qui rende intelligible tout à la fois son omniprésence et l'éclatement des formulations.
