Review The Theory of Production is a tour de force that provides a needed authoritative survey of modern competitive theory on technology and prices. It seems a golden mean between mathematical complexities, policy alternatives, and historical geneses. I expect to wear out a copy every two years from extensive use. Paul A. Samuelson, MIT The Theory of Production is a remarkably clear and precise statement of linear economic theory post-Sraffa. The sound analytical work is complemented by substantial historical notes in most chapters and the work is a pleasure to read. Ivan Steedman, University of Manchester Promotional This book contains a comprehensive treatment of the theory of production in a long-period framework. Review Quote "This book will be of interest to a wide range of economists, not just Neo-Ricardians. It will be important because it strives to present a complete account of the formal properties of the models of production while refraining from linking the analysis too closely with a specific interpretation of the classical theory of value, the dynamics of accumulation, and the problem of effective demand." Bertram Schefold, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universit Promotional "Headline" This book contains a comprehensive treatment of the theory of production in a long-period framework.
