I might take issue with describing Sraffa's economics as a "static general equilibrium approach".<BR/><BR/>Some Sraffians claim that Sraffa provides both an internal critique of neoclassical economics and a reconstruction of the logic of classical economics, while simultaneous maintaining that neoclassical and classical economics are distinct and different paradigms.Robert Vienneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748118392842775431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26706564.post-41165244750522406182008-09-13T13:35:00.000-04:002008-09-13T13:35:00.000-04:00But at least one aspect of the criticism is sort o...But at least one aspect of the criticism is sort of deserved: Sraffian models are sort of rigorous consequences of neoclassical approaches, in order to show just how flawed the non rigorous versions are.<BR/><BR/>Other than that they are indeed not very useful as they still are based on a static general equilibrium approach.<BR/><BR/>But surely they do illuminate that approach a lot better than the dissembling in neoclassical models.<BR/><BR/>As to me I prefer the JKGalbraith/Landes approach to political economy, the more discursive one too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
