Abstract

Marx’s theory of land rent was the object of study during the 1970s and early 1980s principally as a by-product of the debate among Marxist and neo-Ricardian economists on the transformation problem.2 Another issue that has revived interest in Marx’s rent theory is the problem of speculation in the building sector (Lipietz, 1974; Broadbent, 1975; Folin, 1976), a problem that has continued to draw attention to draw Marx’s contribution until recently (Clark, 1987; Persky and White, 1988; Bovaird, 1993).

An earlier version of this chapter was presented at a preparatory meeting of the Bergamo conference on volume III of Marx–s Capital, held in Teramo, Italy, from 10–11 November 1994. lowe thanks to Chris Arthur, Nicoló Bellanca and Roberto Finelli for their comments. Usual disclaimers apply.
