Résumé anglais Marx's statement lays down, as a law, in various and rather impervious spaces (those of physical goods, value concepts and monetary ratios) ; therefore, it seems ambiguous. Controversies take place about the main contrary influences — growing rate of exploitation (pl/v) and constant organic composition of capital (c/v) — dealing with distribution theory (the profit squeeze interpretation and competition theory (Okishio's theorem). An empirical study, based on the case of France since World War II, brings paradoxical evidence : both pl/v and c/v, considered as monetary ratios, remain constant until the crisis occurs. Thus, if the fa/ling rate of profit results from the crisis, it cannot provide it.
