Le profit sans l'accumulation: la recette du capitalisme gouverné par la finance

Innovations, 2006, vol. 23, issue 1, 79-108

Abstract: In a capitalist economy where profits are fully saved and wages fully spent in consumption goods, Kalecki?s law asserts that the rate of profit is equal to the rate of capital accumulation. The divorce between these two variables, as observed during the last twenty years in the US as well as in France, raises in this framework a puzzle. We show that the spectacular augmentation of profit distribution partly provides an account of this, at a theoretical level. We give further indications as to how new corporate governance and the institution of stockholders renewed power have taken part in this phenomena.
