Abstract: The paper addresses the hypothesis according to which the traditional equilibrium notion as a centre of gravitation (that is, a position the economy tends to realise over sufficient time under time-consuming adjustments and that forcibly needs a value specification of capital) still prevailed in neoclassical theory even after John Hicks’s 1939 temporary equilibria approach became dominant within that theory. This is shown by examining Oskar Lange’s work on equilibrium and capital, which has led us to conclude that despite him adopting the Hicksian approach in his 1944 essay, Lange continued to reason in terms of those traditional conceptions of equilibrium and capital.
