Résumé anglais The instability of capitalism, as analysed by Keynes, Schumpeter and Marx, cannot be satisfactorily understood in terms of dynamic instability only. The crucial instability concepts worked out by these authors have to be properly modelled in terms of structural instability. This approach may put us in a better position for analyzing the evolution of economic structures. The difficult but crucial problem of explaining structural change is articulated in two subproblems which appear more tractable : i) the explanation of the set of forces giving the economic system its peculiar degree of structural instability ; ii) the explanation of the characteristics of the relevant disturbances actually inducing a certain well-defined structural change.
