A Mathematical Formulation of the Ricardian System
Abstract
In this article, L.L. Pasinetti describes David Ricardo’s complete economic system in a rigorous and concise form. He eliminates ambiguities and shows that the Ricardian system is very neat and even suitable for a mathematical formulation, with all the well-known advantages of conciseness, rigour and clarity. To avoid digressions, and lengthy references, the difficulties Ricardo faced and the basic features of his theories are briefly reviewed. The Italian version: "Una formulazione matematica del sistema ricardiano" is published in: Sviluppo economico e distribuzione del reddito, Bologna: Il Mulino, 1977, pp.9-42- info:eu-repo/semantics/article
