Résumé anglais From General Theory to the New Classical Theory : An Essay on the Novelty in Macroeconomics. By comparison with the 60' s, the contemporary macroeconomics displays a quite new paradigm : the vision, concepts, core results and suggestions for economic policy are totally different. Thus, the relations between innovation in theorizing, the search for micro-foundations and the empirical relevance of the new classical macroeconomics are investigated. The premium given to novelty is explained by the infrequent implementation of the Popperian refutability principle and the strong historicity of macroeconomic issues. A survey of the AER 1997 Proceedings suggests that beneath the consensus upon general hypotheses, the various authors differ about their visions, tools, results and economic policy recommendations.
