Capital, Revenue and the Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics of Value

Clair Quentin

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This comprehensive book examines the concept of value as it applies to the ‘Ricardian machine’; the physical system in which commodities are produced by means of commodities. Clair Quentin answers the fundamental question: how can the growth of this system be objectively measured?
