Some Cambridge Controversies in the Theory of Capital
(Capital theory traditionally spans two major compartments...)
Capital theory traditionally spans two major compartments of economic theory: the theory of production of both individual products and the total product, and the theory of the distribution of the aggregate product between the different classes of capitalist society. It has always been controversial, partly because the subject matter is difficult and partly because rival ideologies and value systems impinge directly on the subject matter. In the present book the various topics associated with the exchanges between the 'neo-Keynesians' and the 'neo-neoclassicals' are discussed and evaluated. The topics include the measurement of capital, the revival of interest in Irving Fisher's rate of return on investment, the double-switching debate, Sraffa's prelude to a critique of neoclassical theory, and the 'new' theories of the rate of profits in capitalist society.

Some Cambridge Controversies in the Theory of Capital
Views
Tried to make clear in a fair and good-humoured way to students and colleagues alike the issues involved in the Cambridge controversies over capital theory. Also made contributions to post-Keynesian theory, especially to the theory of pricing and the investment decision, and to the theory of the distribution of income and the level of activity in the short run. Finally, by sketching the intellectual biographies of some leading economists, tried to make the subject more alive and humane.
