Description

Explore the history of Western economic thought with this Routledge Revival edition. Originally published in 1990, Theories of Surplus and Transfer provides a deep analysis of the debates surrounding productive labor and its products. The text examines the evolution of economic ideas from Petty to Supply-Side theory through the lens of the productive versus unproductive dichotomy. This work investigates how different economists define the boundaries of value and welfare. By looking at the central question of whether an economy generates a surplus, the book covers a wide range of influential figures. Readers will find analysis of the views held by the Physiocrats, Smith, Ricardo, Marx, and various Soviet and western admirers of Marxist thought. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of business and economic theory.
