Dennis John R. Commons worked out principles that can provide perspectives on current labor market problems because many of the problems he faced have re-appeared. This article reviews the development of those principles as Commons worked out continually more complex variations on themes developed early in his life. It shows the contemporary pertinence of what he worked out in two ways. First it illustrates the application to current labor market issues of his key concepts-- transactions, competitive menace, limiting factor, public purpose and reasonable value. Second, it points out that authors seeking solutions to current labor problems in the United States are independently re-discovering policies that Commons proposed a hundred years ago. Les principes établis par John R. Commons peuvent apporter des réponses aux problèmes actuels du marché du travail puisqu'ils traitent de nombreuses questions à l'ordre du jour. Cet article retrace les variations complexes élaborées par John Commons sur des thèmes qu'il a développés tôt dans sa vie. L'article démontre ensuite la pertinence contemporaine de ses travaux. Dans un premier temps, il illustre l'application des concepts clés de Commons (transaction, menace concurrentielle, facteur limitatif, objectif public et valeur raisonnable) aux problèmes actuels du marché du travail. Ensuite, l'article met en évidence que les différents auteurs qui recherchent des solutions aux problèmes actuels du marché du travail aux États-Unis ont, de manière indépendante, redécouvert les politiques prônées par John Commons il y a un siècle.

description John R. Commons worked out principles that can provide perspectives on current labor market problems because many of the problems he faced have re-appeared. This article reviews the development of those principles as Commons worked out continually more complex variations on themes developed early in his life. It shows the contemporary pertinence of what he worked out in two ways. First it illustrates the application to current labor market issues of his key concepts-- transactions, competitive menace, limiting factor, public purpose and reasonable value. Second, it points out that authors seeking solutions to current labor problems in the United States are independently re-discovering policies that Commons proposed a hundred years ago.
