	Labor theory of value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The problems with Marx's "solution" to this mathematical problem have spawned a long debate concerning the "transformation problem." This problem of finding (or rejecting) mathematical formulae linking individual prices to individual values is central to the dominant interpretation of the Marxian LTV.
		In 1969, Amit Bhaduri pointed out that the "transformation" problem of finding a mathematical relationship between individual prices and individual values has intractable difficulties that are mathematically identical to those seen in the famous "Cambridge" critique of Robert Solow's aggregate production function.
		Whereas the problem with Solow's model is aggregation from micro- to macroeconomics, one interpretation is that the problem with Marx's theory is disaggregation: in Capital, Marx starts from the whole of capitalism (values) and moves to the parts (prices).

		Compilers and Lexical parsers like YACC come under this problem frame where the language to be parsed is the input and the output is the parse tree or intermediate code.
		The pipes and filters pattern can be used to solve the transformation problem where the filter acts as a mechanism to restrict, control, modify and manage the input from a pipe and pass the information further.
		The transformation of one form of computer readable input files to another format is essentially done by the data flow architectural style.

	Encyclopedia: Transformation problem
		The transformation problem, studied by Marx in Chapter 9 of Capital's Volume III through a set of numerical examples, is hence the problem of finding a set of functions that transform the ratios between amounts of embodied labour into such relative prices.
		However, be that as it may, the proposed "historical" dimension of the transformation problem does not seem to affect in any way the (non-) applicability of Marx's notion of exploitation to contemporary capitalist societies.
		Thus the transformation problem is central to the usefulness of Marx's economics in predicting exploitation, via a linkage from values (and hence surplus value) to prices.

	Station Information - Transformation problem
		The transformation problem for the Marxist economists was that if the labor theory of value holds true then consumers would feel obliged to pay more for an equally useful good that was more labor intensive than one which was less labour intensive.
		This is clearly not the case, so the labour theory of value does not transform to the consumer.
		This would mean that different forms of capital would have different intrinsic rates of return, something that immediately put Marxist economics at a disadvantage to the neoclassical, Austrian and Keynesian schools.

	Radical beginnings, conventional ends? Organizational transformation - a problem in the development of radical ...
		The major purpose of this chapter is to draw attention to the problems experienced by radical agents and agencies in their attempts to develop and construct alternative forms of organization.
		The chapter indicates the character and nature of the problems of interaction between poorly resourced groups (the social base from which radical initiatives are typically drawn) and the more powerful and better-resourced funding agencies on which such popular' initiatives are typically dependent.
		Despite these problems, the centre was being publicized by the GLC as a major initiative, an 'exemplary project', and the major funding application was approved.

	The transformation problem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		A region (the "inclusion") in an infinite homogeneous isotropic elastic medium undergoes a change of shape and size which, but for the constraint imposed by its surroundings (the "matrix"), would be an arbitrary homogeneous strain.
		The homogeneous strain is known as "eigenstrain" or "transformational strain".
		In the same paper, Eshelby also introduced the concept of "equivalent inclusion" for solving the transformation problem when the matrix and the region of eigenstrain (the "inhomogeneity") have different elastic constants.

		Transformation problem -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
		Put another way, the neo-Ricardian critique of Marx only has teeth if one replaces Marx's value category (worked up from (Click link for more info and facts about socially necessary labour time) socially necessary labour time) with Ricardo's (based simply on (Productive work (especially physical work done for wages)) labour).
		For them, the essential failure of the "corrected" transformation schemes offered by Sweezy or (Click link for more info and facts about Piero Sraffa) Piero Sraffa is that they mistake the social relation, value, for the stuff it is expressed in.

	Name/date
		The transformation problem asks how can equal magnitudes of capital, but variable quantities of labour give equal rates of profit if the law of value is operative.
		This debate centres on the problem of the transformation of values into prices, which for some (Yaffe) represents a Bourgeois attempt to correct Marx.
		To understand the transformation of value into price, several mediating stages need to be observed.

	THE TRANSFORMATION PROBLEM AND THE REAL WORLD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		This method, which can be called the iterative solution to the transformation problem (ISTP) was developed more or less simultaneously by Brody 1970, Okishio 1972, Shaikh 1973, Morishima 1973 (and had a precedent in Shibata 1933).
		In my opinion, Brody, Shaikh, and Morishima are basically right in their way of looking at the iterative solution to the TP as perfectly consistent with Marx’s own procedure, and Brody and Shaikh interpret the literature about this topic correctly separating the mathematics from the substantive theories involved.
		This is not, as is usually the case, on the basis of an alternative to Marx’s procedure of transformation, but rather on the basis of its successive application” (pp.

	Twentieth Century 1
		A group of economists led by the "Anglo-Italians," Piero Sraffa and Luigi Passinetti, directed effort to the solution of the "transformation problem." In their later work, they drew on matrix algebra and the input-output analysis developed by Wassily Leontieff.
		As it turns out, there is not just one solution to that problem -- there are infinitely many, each with a different wage and corresponding rate of exploitation and profits.
		The search for a unique solution to "the transformation problem" is a search for a "unilinear path of development," and as critics of Marxism have often pointed out, there is no unilinear path of development.

		Specific issues discussed include political and social problems and transformation policy for Central and Eastern Europe.

		As Vahid points out, "it is very tempting to conclude that the transformation phenomenon is tantamount to admitting that the state in question was never really (positively) independent of experience after all."
