Abstract: Von Thünen's thought about land rent has often been oversimplified by modern economists: the aim of this paper is to analyse the properties of the original rent function of The Isolated State. We give a mathematical reformulation of Thünen's reasoning and we show its richness, its curiosities and olso its limits. None of the Thünen's rent functions is linear, and the original model is anable to assure that they are decreasing with distance to the center.
