The physiocrats were also correct in their belief that land can provide value, in its role in capturing the sun's rays. Where Smith, Marx, Ricardo, Sraffa etc were correct was in their belief that value is an inherent quantity, embodied in the goods and services in the economy. However, as was found a

ply balances to equal the above demand, where supply costs of commodities are calculated by aggregating costs of inputs on a cost plus basis, as per Sraffa, (un-reconstituted) von Neumann, market-microstructure and post-Keynesian analyses, but done on a dynamic equilibrium basis. At this level, price

ng entropic systems should also remove many of the theoretical problems associated with imaginary Walrasian auctioneers and other such difficulties. Foley has made very significant inroads into this way of carrying out pricing [Foley 1996a, 1996b, 1999, 2002]. 214 EFTA00625342 All of the above for

clear that the models were modelling the economics of the classical economists; the economics of Smith, Ricardo, Marx, von Neumann (unmodified) and Sraffa. With hindsight this turned out to be a consequence of the second of the two original models I had proposed in 2006. In this model wealth is implic

d considerable effort to applying the correct mathematics, statistical mechanics, to economics. Although primarily modelled in a static environment, Foley's work is profoundly insightful, and demonstrates very clearly how statistical mechanical approaches are more powerful than utility based approache

n economics had been systematically disproved by neoclassical economics. More reading of economics quickly proved the second assumption to be false, Sraffa was the victor of the Cambridge capital controversies. The labour theory of value is indeed nonsense. However the concept of absolute value is not
