Book Synopsis Profit Theory and Capitalism by : Mark Obrinsky
Download or read book Profit Theory and Capitalism written by Mark Obrinsky and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pursuit of profit by business motivates the capitalist economic system. Understanding profits, therefore, especially the source of profits, is essential to an understanding of capitalism. Mark Obrinsky claims that there has never been an adequate profit theory in mainstream economics. To find the source of profits, he argues, one needs to look beyond ownership of the productive factors of land, labor, and capital. Profit Theory and Capitalism makes a sharply reasoned and accessible contribution to critical theory, the history of economic thought, and post-Keynesian theory. Its insights will be of value to all students and theorists working in the area of income distribution.

Book Synopsis Theory of Profit with Islamic Directions by : Zubair Hasan
Download or read book Theory of Profit with Islamic Directions written by Zubair Hasan and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THEORY OF PROFIT WITH ISLAMIC DIRECTIONS deals with a controversial and neglected, but nonetheless important subject. Readers will find the narration interesting and innovative, for it does not discuss profit theories of various writers separately in chronological order; instead, it identifies issues in the area and analyses the views of various writers on each to propose restructuring of the theory as per Islamic directions. The issues raised include the definition and seat of profit, the cause of its emergence and sources, the motivational aspects and their impact on allocation of resources and incomes distribution, the nature of profit and the regulatory policy role. The work concludes that the source of prevalent confusion on the subject lies in defining profit as a costs/revenues differential of firms and the insistence that it is exclusively attributable to the entrepreneurs who tend to be vanishing in the modern corporate era. For a reformulation of the theory to get rid of inconsistencies, the work suggests that profit should be viewed only as a cost/revenue differential delinked from reward; the firm – not the entrepreneur – should be the focal point for its study, the surplus beyond normal profit must be shared between capital and labour, subject to a minimum wage constraint, to promote social harmony and distributive justice. This book will appeal to the general reader who is looking for a lucid narration on a topic of common interest. Academics will find it interesting because of its historical updating and novelty of treatment. University students of economics will find this work an invaluable resource.

Book Synopsis Expectation, Enterprise and Profit by : G.L.S. Shackle
Download or read book Expectation, Enterprise and Profit written by G.L.S. Shackle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G.L.S. Shackle made numerous, pioneering contributions to the study of uncertainty in economic life. This volume studies the production process, where resources must be committed to specific technological purposes long in advance of the ultimate sale of goods to the consumer. The problems of such a system rest on the durability of the instruments it uses, whose huge expense can only be recouped if they can be used for many years. Yet at the time of investment, those years of use are in the future and uncertain. The firm is the essential institutional means of confronting this uncertainty. Expectation, Enterprise and Profit is concerned with the nature and mode of life of the firm as a means of policy formation in the face of uncertainty. Chapters include: The Nature and Matrix of Production, Investment and Expectation, Interdependent Decision-Making and Profit and Equilibrium.

Book Synopsis The Theory of Economic Development by : Joseph A. Schumpeter
Download or read book The Theory of Economic Development written by Joseph A. Schumpeter and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schumpeter first reviews the basic economic concepts that describe the recurring economic processes of a commercially organized state in which private property, division of labor, and free competition prevail. These constitute what Schumpeter calls "the circular flow of economic life," such as consumption, factors and means of production, labor, value, prices, cost, exchange, money as a circulating medium, and exchange value of money. The principal focus of the book is advancing the idea that change (economic development) is the key to explaining the features of a modern economy. Schumpeter emphasizes that his work deals with economic dynamics or economic development, not with theories of equilibrium or "circular flow" of a static economy, which have formed the basis of traditional economics. Interest, profit, productive interest, and business fluctuations, capital, credit, and entrepreneurs can better be explained by reference to processes of development. A static economy would know no productive interest, which has its source in the profits that arise from the process of development (successful execution of new combinations). The principal changes in a dynamic economy are due to technical innovations in the production process. Schumpeter elaborates on the role of credit in economic development; credit expansion affects the distribution of income and capital formation. Bank credit detaches productive resources from their place in circular flow to new productive combinations and innovations. Capitalism inherently depends upon economic progress, development, innovation, and expansive activity, which would be suppressed by inflexible monetary policy. The essence of development consists in the introduction of innovations into the system of production. This period of incorporation or adsorption is a period of readjustment, which is the essence of depression. Both profits of booms and losses from depression are part of the process of development. There is a distinction between the processes of creating a new productive apparatus and the process of merely operating it once it is created. Development is effected by the entrepreneur, who guides the diversion of the factors of production into new combinations for better use; by recasting the productive process, including the introduction of new machinery, and producing products at less expense, the entrepreneur creates a surplus, which he claims as profit. The entrepreneur requires capital, which is found in the money market, and for which the entrepreneur pays interest. The entrepreneur creates a model for others to follow, and the appearance of numerous new entrepreneurs causes depressions as the system struggles to achieve a new equilibrium. The entrepreneurial profit then vanishes in the vortex of competition; the stage is set for new combinations. Risk is not part of the entrepreneurial function; risk falls on the provider of capital.

Book Synopsis Profit Cycles, Oligopoly, and Regional Development by : Ann Markusen
Download or read book Profit Cycles, Oligopoly, and Regional Development written by Ann Markusen and published by . This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a theory that radically reconceptualizes the economic forces producing regional change and tests it empirically for a set of fifteen sectors in the U.S. It offers a pioneering approach which should enable planners and managers to better cope with baffling changes in the current economic viability of regions. The dramatic shifts in heartland regional economies in the U.S. and other advanced industrial countries have thrown into question the ability of capitalist development to produce permanent growth, economic well being, and balanced regional development. This book develops a theory that radically reconceptualizes the economic forces producing regional change and tests it empirically for a set of fifteen sectors in the U.S. It offers a pioneering approach which should enable planners and managers to better cope with baffling changes in the current economic viability of regions. Traditional theories of regional development have failed to account for innovation and longrun structural change. They have ignored the role of corporate strategy and the existence of market power. Markusen's profit-cycle theory provides a key to understanding how, why, and when a region's leading industries undergo major changes. The theory is synthetic, building upon Schumpeterian and Marxist work on innovation and capitalist dynamics, upon the product cycle theories of business economists, and upon theories of oligopolistic behavior. Markusen argues that changing sources of profitability along an industry's evolutionary path will first concentrate and later disperse production geographically, setting in motion a methodically destabilizing process for regional economies. The profit-cycle theory is tested in depth against the steel sector's experience over a century, and against the experiences of sectors in different stages of development, ranging from innovative ones like semiconductors and computers, to mature and troubled sectors like automobiles, textiles, and lumber. The temporal and crosssectional data drawn from the census of manufactures support the theory and its spatial hypotheses. In a final chapter Markusen explores the implications of the research for regional development.
Book Synopsis A Macroeconomic Analysis of Profit by : Andrea Carrera
Download or read book A Macroeconomic Analysis of Profit written by Andrea Carrera and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the observation of economic reality, this book provides for the foundations of a new structure of national payment systems. Specifically, to this end, a rigorous accounting for money transactions, savings, and invested profit is suggested, with a major aim to settle sustainable lending levels. Profit lies at the heart of economic activities. Indeed, companies, from small to large, seek net gains to remunerate shareholders and to increase their assets. Yet, economists are far from sharing a common theory of profit. Using mathematical tools and a discursive approach, this book contributes to the debates in such regard, in the attempt to provide new answers to old economic issues. What is macroeconomic profit? Is there any relationship between wages, lending, and profit? This book is an accesible resource for economists and financial experts as well as global economics students, researchers, academics and historians alike. It will challenge policy-makers and professionals and lead them on a thought-provoking journey through the realm of macroeconomics.
