Résumé anglais In their works, Marx, Keynes and Schumpeter thought of capita/ism as a dynamic system but they forecast its end also. They described a drama where entrepreneur is the leading man. On the other hand, the proletarian (Marx), the consumer (Keynes) and the intellectual (Schumpeter) are the secondary actors on this scene. When we turn to the mecanism imagined by the three men, production is guided by profit but this concept has not the same meaning in the three works. The resulting game is the falling rate of profit (with regard to Marx), or the fall of effective demand (with regard to Keynes) or the settling down to circular flow (with regard to Schumpeter). It is possible to describe the evolution of capitalist system by means of models. Beyond analogies and differences, we observe that Marx insists on the death of capita/ism, Keynes gives us some remedies which are those of the Welfare State and Schumpeter recommends a transition to socialism by economic care of public money and by the alternative and political means of democracy.
