Revolutionary Economics: Integrating Use and Exchange Value
Steve Keen
Steve Keen (born 28 March 1953) is an Australian-born, British-based economist and author. He considers himself a post-Keynesian, criticising neoclassical economics as inconsistent, unscientific and empirically unsupported. The major influences on Keen's thinking about economics include John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, Hyman Minsky, Piero Sraffa, Augusto Graziani, Joseph Alois Schumpeter, Thorstein Veblen, and François Quesnay.

  1. It's funny how important stuff often doesn't make it into books in a properly organized fashion. I have hundreds of such notes which would probably never be published. Organizing information is a constant source of frustration

  2. Is "use value" what the neoclassicals call "utility"?

    • Roughly speaking, but even there their concepts are different. Utility for neoclassicals is always subjective and qualitative–which is where their aggregation problems come from. For the Classical school, utility was largely a functional thing–the use-value of a chair is the fact that you can sit in it, not how comfortable it makes you feel–and plays no role in setting price.
