Synopsis

This book is concerned with the relationship between processes of accumulation and aspects of distribution. The analyses of Ricardo and Marx are reevaluated and redeveloped in the light of advances made by von Neumann, Sraffa and more contemporary theoreticians. Joint production systems are integrated into the analysis, which allows the authors to define the effect of the theorem of non-substitution, and to reconsider the problem of obsolescence and the choice of technique.

From the Back Cover:

This book examines the relationship between processes of accumulation and aspects of distribution. The analyses of Ricardo and Marx are re-evaluated and redeveloped in the light of advances made by von Neumann, Sraffa and more contemporary theoreticians. Joint production systems are integrated into the analysis which allows the authors to reconsider the problems of choice of technique (in connection with demand analysis), rent theory, the problem of obsolescence of machines and dynamic evolution. New views about standard commodities and blocking goods are also introduced.
