Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the question of uneven appropriation of the net social product by regionally based fractions of capital. We therefore propose to examine just a moment in the process of uneven regional development. Unfortunately, we shall not offer any direct integration of uneven regional development with capitalist accumulation. We intend to work out only some of the theoretical preconditions for doing so. Specifically, we shall elaborate a concept of regional inequalities at a level of abstraction at which accumulation is absent and the capital-labor relation is reproduced on the same scale from year to year (simple reproduction). This is an abstraction that provides the minimum theoretical structure required for the analysis of value-price relationships and for the introduction of the concept of unequal interregional relations. This method of investigation emanates from Marx (1977, Ch. 23) and Sraffa (1960).
