  • Joint Products & Prices of Production (5 pages) on compatibility of joint production with a uniform rate of profit, including sheep/wool/mutton numerical example, cost-price, supply-demand diagrams, and analysis of demand shifts
  • Used Machines & True Joint Products (in red, front and back) on pseudo-joint vs true joint products, socially necessary labor time for all outputs, including chicken/gizzard/drumstick example
  • Joint Products on machine ages linked to theory of rent, intensive and extensive margins, and differential rent from a third type of margin
  • Investment as Use-Form of Previously Produced Surplus Value with numerical example of firm inventories, realized and unrealized profit
  • Nell’s Dissertation (7 pages, numbered 4–10) covering transformation problem, price determination vs price calculation, subsistence good reference system, scarcity prices, money as token, velocity of technical capital, credit, and three theories of money (cost of production, quantity, functional)
  • Variance of Price-Value Differences on conjecture that variance is greatest when equal rates of profit obtain
  • Individual Value / Social Value (front and back, 4/20/77) with table of capital invested, labor employed, product, and social value, citing TSV II, pp. 262–265
  • Exchanges Between Departments in Marx’s Reproduction Schemes (front and back) citing Capital Vol. II, Ch. XX, p. 401, on flows of money advanced by Dept. I and Dept. II

  • The Paradox of Profits Varying with a Given Surplus Value (3 pages, 1/4–3/4, 4/9/78) on two forms of profit in Marx, Sraffa’s transformation problem, and relation of rate of profit to surplus value

  • General Nature of Profit (front and back) citing Wages, Price and Profit (Marx-Engels Selected Works, Int. Publishers, N.Y., 1970, p. 209) on explaining profit from commodities sold at real values, not price surcharges
  • Ricardo’s 93% Theory of Value referencing W. Baumol & Pate, JPE, Vol. 76, No. 1, Jan/Feb 1968, with note on Stigler
