The corn model, gluts and surplus value
讨论了李嘉图在与马尔萨斯关于生产过剩的争论中后期使用的玉米模型例子,并分析了马尔萨斯如何从生产条件和实际工资中计算出马克思所称的剩余价值。
The controversy over Ricardo's corn model has focused on the interpretation of his early writings. Here, Ricardo's later use of a corn model example in his dispute with Malthus over gluts is discussed. Malthus's own use of a corn model table in attempting to justify his use of a labour commanded measure of value is analysed; it is shown that he calculates what Marx was to describe as surplus value from the physical conditions of production and the real wage.
