Résumé anglais C. Benetti maintains in his paper that the theory of general overproduction and the theory of capitalist competition are not compatible in Torrens'thought. The present paper discusses this thesis : it rests on a particular set of assumptions, namely constant return to scale, no inventory policy and no transfers of capital between industries. A generalization of the model is proposed under the hypothesis of no constant returns to scale. The main result, in the well-behaved case, is : for a predetermined uniform rate of profit, there exists one price system (up to a scalar) associated to a unique set of quantities which ensures the equality between supply and effective demand for all commodities. Conversely, for a predetermined price system, there exists a unique rate of profit associated to a unique système of quantities which ensures equality between supply and effective demand.
