Enjoy!
It would be great to hear your opinion re: which best stood the test of time, which is most undervalues, etc.
ACTIVITY ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION AND ALLOCATION totally rocks!
To be honest, I don't know enough of them. The books by Arrow and Debreu are of course still classics. The book by scarf started the whole computational general equilibrium thing, but I doubt it´s that up to date. Activity Analysis is still the foundation of production in equilibrium theory, so it definitely rules.
Maybe someone can provide more info.
"PRICE FLEXIBILITY AND EMPLOYMENT
by Oscar Lange"
I love it when Socialists get all Neo-Classical.
It's a feature, not a bug.
