Theories of Value and Distribution Since Adam Smith - Ideology and Economic Theory

Klappentext Mr Dobb examines the history of economic thought in the light of the modern controversy over capital theory and! more particularly! the appearance of Sraffa's book The Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities! which was a watershed in the critical discussions constituted a crucial turning-point in the history of economics: an estimate not unconnected with his reinterpretation of nineteenth-century economic thought as consisting of two streams or traditions commonly confused under the generic title of 'the classical tradition' against which Jevons so strongly reacted. Zusammenfassung Examines the works of earlier thinkers which anticipated the ideas of the critics of the 1960s and the doctrines they opposed. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introductory: on ideology; 2.
