Résumé anglais |
The aim of this paper is to show that the methodologies of two great historians of economic thought (Marx and Schumpeter), though different, have the same shortcoming. They both think that there exists a unique absolutely good theory. For Schumpeter, this theory is the general equilibrium of which he meant to extend the conceptual framework to the analysis of cycles. For Marx, this theory is his own elaboration. First, their prétention to unicity is contradictory with the definition of science. Secondly, it introduces a «bias», as Schumpeter would term it, in their reading of their predecessors. They both only consider the problems which are also formulated in their respectively completed theories, or, worse, they reformulate the problems and transform the concepts to make them match with their own ones.
