Theory of Value

A prominent member of the second generation of Cambridge Keynesians, Luigi Pasinett has been a key player in the development of neo-Ricardian economics as well. Having studied under Piero Sraffa at Cambridge, he developed a mathematical representation of Ricardo's theory of value and distribution, as well as the reswitching problem in neoclassical capital theory: thus making him a leader of the British Cambridge side during the Cambridge Capital Controversy. Since leaving Cambridge for Rome, he has become particularly interested in structural change, i.e. the responses of multi-sectoral models of the economy to technical changes. This book draws together Pasinetti's main contributions in the field of value theory, under the expert editorship of Angelo Reati.Pasinetti, Luigi is the author of 'Theory of Value ', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415416269 and ISBN 0415416264.
