Dear All,
in view of the lines below may I just say that I here follow Richard
Goodwin's MKS system very much in favoring the integration of
Marx-Keynes/Kalecki-Schumpeter where all have to give in a little bit,
but where in the end a theory of the long waves in capitalism may result
(with some monotonic tendencies) with effective demand problems, mass
unemployment due to the distributive cycle, and
invention-innovation-diffusion waves???
The weakest point is in my view however that Keynes accepted that
competitive prices are equal to marginal wage costs. Marx' LTV can be
viewed as the system of National Accounts behind the surface of
competition and therefore does not really depend on the explanation of
the latter.
With best regards, Peter
