| Résumé anglais |
The purpose of the paper is to clarify in which sense the specificity of the concept of a monetary standard may be derived from its treatment by Ricardo. It shows that, even in a metallic regime, any link between the standard of the value of money and the standard of the real value of commodities must be broken ; this does not prevent the monetary standard from stabilizing the general price level. Its main use in any monetary regime is however to facilitate the adoption of the legal unit of account by economic agents ; in contrast with the modern "Free Banking" approach, the existence of a central money is the condition of that outcome.
