| Résumé anglais |
The paper deals with the reception of the General Theory among the French economists during the fifteen years which followed its publication. More precisely, the authors try to stress the main theoretical questions French economists raised in reading the General Theory and the main answers they offered. A general examination of these questions and answers leads to emphasize the predominant and recursive theme of General Theory's temporal framework.
The whole range of possible interpretations is first reviewed, according to the impact acknowledged to the General Theory from the viewpoint of its contribution to economic dynamics ; in this prospect, the theoretical origin of the authors (neo-classical, « classical », marxist, keynesian, ecclectic, ...) plays obviously an important part.
More accurate criteria are then introduced to provide a more thorough description of the attempts which considered that the keynesian approach could be at least developed in a dynamic perspective. According to this viewpoint, several possible types of economic dynamics are distinguished and their contrasted contents are characterized.
Finally, the distinctive features of a "French" reading of the General Theory are depicted ; they help to understand how the keynesian approach could be considered as a crucial contribution to economic dynamics. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
