Sraffa: some alternative proofs

Alessandro Saccal

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Relative to the germane academic literature in this work I offer alternative and more direct proofs for (i) the existence and unicity of Sraffa’s ‘Standard System’, (ii) the (existence and) unicity of R=r_i (for w=0) across the ‘Real System’ and the ‘Standard System’ and (iii) the existence (and unicity) of Sraffa’s Fundamental Equation r=R(1−w) across both kinds of system. While the proof for (iii) be outrightly unprecedented and that for (ii) certainly shorter, the proof for (i) is not necessarily superior to those of the germane academic literature, which judgement is left open for debate.
