Résumé anglais In this article we show that — contrarily to one of Sraffa's results — it is possible to build, under certain conditions, several different homothetic systems of production on the basis of the same original system. This fact permits us to show that the relative price of two different standard commodities changes when there is a change in the income distribution, which proves that Sraffa's thesis about the «invariability» of the value of the standard commodity is mistaken. Besides, we analyse the arguments presented by Sraffa in order to prove this thesis and we show that his demonstration is not correct.
