  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 275))

Abstract

What follows is part of a broader study concerning the properties of capitalist economies with regard to stability. These properties are analyzed on the basis of a microeconomic model of the competitive process, based on the classical principles derived from the works of Smith, Ricardo and Marx.1 From these classical microeconomic foundations, a classical macro analysis is established.

We thank M. Glick for his aid in the translation of this text into English. The unabridged version can be obtained from the C.E.P.R.M.A.P.
