Abstract: [fre] Marx et l'économie des conventions. . L'économie des conventions, qui met l'accent sur les modes non marchands de coordination des activités économiques, voit de tels objets à l'œuvre soit chez Keynes, pour le marché financier, soit chez Piore et Doeringer pour le marché du travail.. On montre ici que c'est également le cas chez Marx. Une telle réinterprétation se révèle particulièrement féconde puisqu'elle fournit une solution à deux impasses théoriques majeures de la théorie marxiste : l'impossible transformation du travail complexe en travail simple et l'impossible transformation des valeurs en prix de production. L'interprétation sociologique et monétaire de la théorie marxiste de la valeur s'en trouve confortée. [eng] Marx and the economes of conventions . . The French institutionalist school known as The economics of conventions puts the stress on non market devices for the coordination of economie activities. Such conventions may be seen at work in Keynes, for the financial market, or in Piore and Doeringer, for the labor market.. This paper shows that it is also the case of Marx. Such a re-interpretation proves to be very fruitful as it copes with two major shortcomings of the marxist theory : the impossible transformation of complex labor into simple labor and the impossible transformation of values into priees of production. The sociological and monetary interpretation of the marxist theory of value is therefore reinforced.
