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

nd GLV distributions will be found to give general and stable descriptions of many complex systems that have hitherto been seen as insoluble. What Dewar, Levy and Solomon's systems consist of are three critical elements; a source, a sink, and some sort of self-limiting behaviour. This model is poten

is simply a complicated and interesting sub-section of the MEP function of the earth as a whole. 202 EFTA00625330 Returning to the mathematics, Dewar [Dewar 2005] has produced a seminal paper that derives maximum entropy production from the first principles of information theory and simple maximum

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

appears not to have percolated into the general physics community despite appearing to have general applicability. The ideas of Paltridge, Lorenz, Dewar and others, along with the mathematical techniques of Levy & Solomon, may not be familiar to many physicists, and I believe may be very powerful in

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

ormation approach is more obvious mathematically, but like quantum mechanics, somehow seems to imply the necessary presence of an outside observer. Dewar's work, discussed in section 7.3 below may shed some light on this discussion. Both Atkins's and Ben-Naim's books are short and well written, and I
