Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities : Prelude to a Critique of Economic Theory

Rating:
Summary: Sraffa's pokes holes in neoclassical theories.
Review: Sraffa's work on the production of commodities serves as a mathematical schema which destroys neoclassical economic theories. It is a must read for anyone who feels that neoclassical economics is without problems as well as anyone who wants their suspicions of neoclassical economics confirmed. Even reknowned neoclassical economists such as Paul Samuelson have had to reassess the claims of neoclassical economic thinking. Samuelson has written journal articles on the impact of Sraffa's findings. It's hard to find a copy of the book, but well worth it.
