Summary

Property and Prices provides the missing theoretical link between Sraffa's Production of Commodities and Debreu's Theory of Value. It does so by placing arbitrage and speculation in the stock market at the centre of the theory of value and capital.

Property and Prices Summary

Property and Prices by Andre Burgstaller (Columbia University, New York)

This book provides the missing theoretical link between Sraffa's Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities and Debreu's Theory of Value. Its thesis is that both classical and neoclassical value theory operate through arbitrage and speculation in the financial markets. Key among those markets is the bourse or stock market. Once a stock market is incorporated into general-equilibrium theory, the classical analysis of value (a la Ricardo, Marx and Sraffa) and the neoclassical theory of price (descending from Walras, Hicks and Arrow-Debreu) can be seen to possess the same mathematical structure. Thus the theory of arbitrage pricing in financial markets is capable of bringing together the two great rival schools of economic thought.
