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

al and ecological scientists have the right mathematical tools for creating a radical and effective new economics, both specifically in the form of the Lotka-Volterra and maximum entropy production models, and more generally in their understanding of complex inter-related evolving systems. Ultimately this maths f

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

rom top to bottom. But this still results in a distribution with a large bias giving most of the wealth to a minority of individuals. Going back to the Lotka-Volterra and GLV models discussed in section 1.2, it is better to abandon the predator-prey model of foxes killing rabbits, and instead think in terms of a '

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

this is a chaotic model, not a stochastic one. There is no stochasticity in this model. All fluctuations in the model are created endogenously from the Lotka-Volterra like differential equations in the model. Figure 4.3.4 shows the detail of couple of cycles.
