The Economic Ideas of Marx's Capital: Steps towards post-Keynesian economics de Ludo Cuyvers

The Economic Ideas of Marx's Capital: Steps towards post-Keynesian economics: Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

Autor Ludo Cuyvers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 sep 2016
Nearly two hundred years have passed since the birth of Karl Marx and continuing to this day the influence of his economic views, insights and theories can still be felt. However, since the publication of Das Kapital, the scientific community has not been sitting idle – it is time to evaluate Marx as an economist and explore what he can bring to modern economic thinking, particularly post-Keynesian economics.
Starting with Marx’s schemes of reproduction, which, it is shown, are the basis of the linear model of production as used since the 1960s by Piero Sraffa, Michio Morishima and others, the book reviews and assesses Marx’s major economic theses. These include: the labour theory of value; accumulation and technical change and its impact on labour; the concept of unproductive labour; the tendential falling rate of profits; the evolution and determinants of the share of wages in national income; as well as short-run and long-run economic dynamics. The Economic Ideas of Marx's Capital updates the theses of the labour theory of value and the conditions for balanced growth using the recent scholarly literature, and also further develops issues related to Marx’s concept of productive labour. Moreover, the book analyses the intellectual relationship of Marx’s economic theory with post-Keynesian neo-Marxism, particularly in the writings of Michal Kalecki, Joan Robinson and others. By doing so, the book shows the need and possibilities of integrating major insights of Marxist and post-Keynesian theory.
This volume will be of interest to those who wish to explore Marx’s economic theories through a non-ideological approach, as well as students of Marxist economics, post-Keynesian economics and the history of economic thought.

  3. Elements of a formal solution to the transformation problem: corrections of Marx’s procedure
    1. Prices of production as the sum of dated labour time
    2. Marx’s "average sector" and Sraffa’s "standard system"
    3. Prices of production as the outcome of iterative adjustments, starting from labour values
  4. What is the logic in transforming values into prices of production?
    1. The rate of surplus value determines the rate of profits, not the other way round (Morishima’s "Fundamental Marxian Theorem")
    2. The transformation of labour values into prices of production: logic or reality?
  5. A short digression into technological coefficients, subsistence wages and the "law of value"
  6. What about monopoly prices?

  3. The translation of unproductive inputs and outputs in the linear model of production
  4. Prices and cost-increasing inputs in the total inputs structure
  5. Unproductive cost-increasing inputs and the rate of profits
  6. Unproductive labour today and further arguments

  8. Conclusions
Chapter 5: Laws of motion of capitalism - accumulation, technical change and super-profits

  2. The capitalist hunger for super-profits as the motivation for technical change and innovation
  3. The effect of technical change on the surplus value and the rate of surplus value
  4. The effect of technical change on the organic composition of capital
    1. An increase in labour productivity with unchanged proportional inputs of means of production
    2. An increase in labour productivity with decreasing proportional inputs of the means of production
    3. An increase in labour productivity with increasing proportional inputs of the means of production
  5. The scope for labour-saving but also capital-using technical change in the pursuit of super-profits
  6. How did the early post-Keynesians look at mechanisation and technical change? The case of Joan Robinson’s "real-capital ratio"
