L'institution monétaire de la société selon Karl Polanyi

Jean-Michel Servet

Revue Économique, 1993, vol. 44, issue 6, 1127-1150

Abstract: [fre] L'institution monétaire de la société selon Karl Polanyi. . En donnant un caractère universel aux pratiques monétaires et en rompant avec le préjugé d'une monnaie marchande par nature, Karl Polanyi introduit une vision nouvelle de l'institution monétaire. Les fonctions monétaires essentielles qui sont pour lui le paiement, l'échange et le compte sont au cœur du processus d'intégration de toute société. Dans l'analyse de la transformation, autrement dit de la tentative d'organisation au XIXe siècle des économies occidentales selon le principe du marché autorégulateur, et des limites du fonctionnement de celui-ci pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, le marché du travail paraît premier. Une relecture de cet ouvrage permet de montrer que, pour Karl Polanyi, l'institution monétaire joue là aussi un rôle essentiel. [eng] Karl polanyi on the organization of money in society. . By attributing a universal character to monetary uses and by breaking with the assump-tion that money is mercantile by nature, Karl Polanyi introduced a new interpretation of monetary organization. Payment, means of exchange and standard, which are the essen-tial fonctions of money according to Polanyi, are at the heart of every society's precess of integration. In the analysis of transformation - i. e the attempt during the 19th century to organize western economies according to the principle of a self-regulating System of price-making market and of its limits between the two world wars. The labor market appears paramount. A rereading of Polanyi's work supports the thesis that, for him, the monetary institution plays an essential role.
