http://william-king.www.drexel.edu/top/prin/txt/marx/marx9.html
Exploitation and The Rate of Profit
This was a problem for Marx, because he thought of the rate of exploitation as primary his idea was to reason from the rate of exploitation to the rate of profit to the values in exchange. But, if the rate of exploitation has to differ from industry to industry, what is the rate of exploitation we should start with? Marx left that as an unsolved problem for some brilliant young Marxist economist, but the first (partial) answer came from a self-described "vulgar" (common-sense) economist, Professor Wilhelm Lexis. Lexis' idea is that the concepts of surplus-value and rate of exploitation be applied to the working class as a whole. There is then no difference in the organic composition of capital to worry about the organic composition of capital to use in the computation is the composition for the entire capitalist economic system. That determines the rate of profit, which then determines the "values in exchange." That isn't quite the whole story. Remember, the wage is the labor cost of the goods and services workers consume. In our example, that beer gets more expensive and bread gets cheaper. That may increase or decrease the cost of goods and services workers consume. So the rate of exploitation for the economy as a whole is not independent of the relative prices. We still can't do what Lexis suggested: take the rate of exploitation for the economy as a whole and use that to compute the relative prices, because the price of beer and bread that we come up with may not be consistent with the cost of labor that we started with. There has to be a rate of exploitation and profits and relative prices that all work together. Figuring out what they could be is called the "transformation problem," i.e. the problem of transformation from labor values to market prices.

2.9 Wilhelm Lexis ja graafinen kuvio
1800-luvulla saksalainen matemaatikko ja taloustieteilijä Wilhelm Lexis (1837-1914) kehitti kaksiulotteisen tarkastelun, joka auttaa väestöilmiöiden ajallista tarkastelua. Wilhelm Lexis tarkasteli koordinaatistossa, x-akselilla vuosia ja y-akselilla esimerkiksi ikää. Eri akselien aikayksiköt ovat samansuuruisia eli yhtä ikävuotta vastaa yksi kalenterivuosi. Lexis-kuvio helpottaa iän karttumisen ja vuosien kulumisen seurantaa. Samaan aikaan kun Wilhelm Lexis kehitti kuviota myös saksalaiset väestötieteilijät Karl Becker ja Gustav Zeuner kehittelivät samanlaista väestöilmiöiden kuvaamismenetelmää. Usein kuviota kutsutaan myös heidän sukunimiensä mukaan. Lexis-kuviota tarkastellaan lähemmin oppitunnilla 6. Sivua muokattu viimeksi maanantaina 03.11.2003 klo 15:11

Oppitunti "Väestötieteen historia" yhdellä sivulla
Kautta historian väestön määrä on kiinnostanut hallitsijoita. On haluttu verotusta varten tietää asukkaiden lukumäärä ja toisaalta useiden valtioiden mahti perustui suureen määrään asekuntoisia miehiä. Lisäksi monet filosofit pohtivat väestön määrän ja rakenteen merkitystä. Tämän oppitunnin tavoitteena on tutustuttaa Sinut muutamiin väestötieteen kannalta keskeisiin historiallisiin henkilöihin. Useimpia ei voida pitää väestötieteilijöinä, mutta he ovat olleet tekemisissä asioiden kanssa, joista myöhemmin kehittyi oma tieteenalansa - väestötiede. Oppitunnin luettuasi huomaat, että kautta aikojen väestön määrä ja kehitys on kiinnostanut niin hallitsijoita, tiedemiehiä kuin filosofeja.
Jo muinaiset kreikkalaiset ...
Kiinassa Konfutse (551-479 eaa) esitti ajatuksen väestön määrän rajoittamisesta, koska elinympäristö ei taannut riittävää toimeentuloa yhä kasvavalle väestölle. Vaikka Kiinan väestö oli tuohon aikaan vain murto-osa nykyisestä, olivat viljelysmenetelmät niin kehittymättömiä, että usein liiallinen väestönkasvu aiheutti niukkuutta ravinnon saannissa. Tämän seurauksena ihmiset muuttivat pitkiäkin matkoja saadakseen lisää elintilaa.

    Money, Method, and the Market Process Ludwig von Mises

    The Great German Inflation
    I
    All the misfortunes from which Europe has suffered in the last two decades have been the inevitable result of the application of the theories which have dominated the social and economic philosophy of the last fifty years. Our troubles are the upshot of much laborious thought. The German inflation, above all, was the outcome of the monetary and banking theory which for many years had obsessed the men who occupied the chairs of economics at the Universities, the men who governed the financial policy of the Reich, and the editors of the most influential newspaper and periodicals. The central feature of these erroneous theories was a total rejection of the Quantity Theory and of all the teachings of the Currency School. The empirisch-realistische Volkswirt who distrusted every "theory"—especially theories imported from abroad—was firmly convinced that both the Quantity Theory and the Theories of the Currency School were nothing but an inexplicable blunder committed by Ricardo and his followers. The German Kathedersozialisten did not waste their time on the study of English political economy. Hence they were unaware of the problems which were the subject of the long-lasting controversy between the Banking School and the Currency School. The only source of their knowledge of the matter was the book published in 1862 by Adolph Wagner under the title

    The British free trade philosophy triumphed in the nineteenth century in the countries of Western and Central Europe. It demolished the shaky ideology of the authoritarian welfare state ( landesfürstlicher Wohlfahrisstaat ) that had guided the policies of the German principalities in the eighteenth century. Even Prussia turned temporarily toward liberalism. The culmination points of its free trade period were the Zollverein's customs tariff of 1865 and the 1869 Trade Code ( Gewerbeordnung ) for the territory of the Norddeutscher Bund (later the Deutsches Reich ). But very soon the government of Bismarck began to inaugurate its Sozialpolitik , the system of interventionist measures such as labor legislation, social security, pro-union attitudes, progressive taxation, protective tariffs, cartels, and dumping. If one tries to refute the devastating, criticism leveled by economics against the suitability of all these interventionist schemes, one is forced to deny the very existence—not to mention the epistemological claims—of a science of economics, and of praxeology as well. This is what all the champions of authoritarianism, government omnipotence, and "welfare" policies have always done. They blame economics for being "abstract" and advocate a "visualizing" (

Math Words, pg 15 Back to Math Words Alphabetical Index apsides The word apside, and its related terms apoapsis and periapsis are most commonly applied to conic sections, particularly the ellipse. The term apside can actually be applied to any motion in reference to a fixed reference point, and refers to a point on the orbit where, for at least an instant, the point is neither approaching nor receding from the reference point. In an ellipse the distance from a focus to the nearest vertex is called apoapsis. In the case of the elliptic orbit of the Earth around the sun, the point where the Earth is closest to the sun is called aphelion (from helios ) and in the orbit of the moon or other satellite about the Earth the closest point is called apogee (from Geo for Earth The distance from the focus of the ellipse to the most distant vertex is called the periapsis, and the special case for orbits about the sun is called perihelion , and for orbits around the Earth the term is perigee The root apsis is sometimes written apse in architecture where it is used to represent a (usually) domed projection of a building. The original Greek root is from the word

    Wilhelm Lexis: The Normal Length of Life as an Expression of the “Nature of Things”
    At the first International Congress of Demography held in Paris in 1878, the German statistician Wilhelm Lexis argued for the notion of a normal length of human life governed by a law of nature. His conception was based on Quetelet’s “average man” and the law of normal distribution of errors formulated by Laplace and Gauss.
    The normal length of life, which differs from the average length of life, is, according to Lexis, a “true value” characteristic of the mortality of the human species.
    Lexis classifies ages at death into three groups, of which the most important is “the normal group”. He seeks to define its boundaries by distinguishing normal deaths from “premature” ones. Normal mortality is then described by three values: normal age at death, the proportion of deaths included in the normal group, and probable error.
    The discussions generated by Lexis’s paper, most notably Bertillon’s remarks on infant mortality, reveal distinct perceptions of the mortality process. A few years later, specialists such as Bodio, Perozzo, Levasseur, and Pareto took up the theory and method of Lexis, acknowledging the originality of his mathematical and statistical analysis of mortality, though not endorsing his hypothesis of a law of nature.
