IXth CONFERENCE OF THE CHARLES GIDE ASSOCIATION
“To aggregate, to distribute, to exchange:
Value from Aristotle to Sraffa, Shapley and Debreu”
BETA-Theme,
University Louis Pasteur of Strasbourg, 27-29 September 2001
CALL FOR PAPERS
Value was for a long time viewed as the founding problem of political
economy, a problem to which any theory was supposed to bring its own
answer.
Such a view is essentially based upon the development of economic thought
along the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, culminating in the Marxist
construction and the passionate reaction it was going to trigger among the
marginalists of the second generation. Later, the question experienced an
eclipse, which has become almost total in the second half of the twentieth
century. Taking a closer look, the question appears to have undergone a
shift. The concept does not refer to a single problem anymore: to adopt a
value concept means to fix the conditions determining the exchange ratio
between the deer and the beaver, but it also means to settle the rules of a
fair share of a collective cake, or else to define the appropriate weights
allowing to aggregate apples and pears.
It is easy to understand that the value theme invites the historian of
economic thought as well as the epistemologist not to be content with the
simple examination of the solutions proposed to a single problem, and
rather
to engage in the task of identifying the questions which are implicit in
the
multiple uses of the term. The coupling of these questions, their links
with
questions that, under the same naming have been asked in other scientific
fields, the nature and sequence of the answers given by the different
authors are but a few topics that naturally find their place at this
conference.
