Description: 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.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 271-276) and index.
