Abstract

This article attempts to analyze the assumptions which must be made in the transformation of values into prices. The author s argue that many of the "problems" discussed in the transformation literature are due to incorrect formulations of these assumptions. I f properly formulated, a transformation as postulated by Karl Marx ca n easily be performed (following the "new solution" by G. Dumenil a nd D. Foley). The alternative approaches of L. Bortkiewicz-P. Sweezy, A. Shaikh, and A. Medio are then reviewed in the light of the new so lution, and an explanation of partial results is given.
