Sraffa’s 1920s Critique and its Relevance for the Assessment of Mainstream Microeconomics
No full textThe present essay re-examines the scope of Sraffa's critique of Marshall'ssupply curves that the former developed in his 1925 and 1926 articles showingthat neoclassical supply curves derived from non-proportional returns arenot robust both in the short and in the long run. After examining what ashort-run and a long-run equilibrium means both for the original Sraffa's articles and for Marshall?s pioneer contribution, the chapter discusses thecommon procedure in conventional economics to introduce the limitations tothe growth of the firm. The argument of the chapter will be based on the1920s articles as well as on the 'Lectures on Advanced Theory of Value' delivered in 19281931 by Sraffa at Cambridge University, now publiclyavailable online by the Wren library, Trinity College, Cambridge. For shortrunanalysis, it must be assumed that the number of firms is fixed. Thisassumption entails serious problems with regards to the notions of competitionand competitive behaviour. For long-run analysis, the sources of increasingcosts are problems of management and control. However, this idea isuntenable both on logical and empirical grounds. We argue that contemporarymainstream microeconomic treatment of costs and supply in the contextof perfect competition still presents several problems. These problems, rather than being superficial, lie at the root of the supply and demand approach ofvalue and distribution.Fil: Brondino, Gabriel.

Andres: The Unfinished Business of a Seemingly Selective Non-Advantage. Case C-203/16 P Dirk Andres v European Commission:The Unfinished Business of a Seemingly Selective Non-Advantage
No full textThe Andres judgement has often been seen as a Milestone on selectivity, but in essence it is not. It rather deals with the absence of an advantage. In this contribution the author revisits Andres and concludes that, from a transactional perspective set forth in Sigma Alimentos Exterior, the outcome could well have been different. He also points out that Andres opened up a loophole to the state aid regime that could be exploited by providing targeted relief to over-inclusive anti-abuse measures. He concludes that it is primarily up to national legislators and domestic courts to guard against disproportional tax measures.</p
Jüri Okas’ ‘specific objects’: diverging discourses in Estonian Art in the 1970s.
No full textPreviously in the University eprints HAIRST pilot service at http://eprints.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/00000367/Article 3 of 6 in issue devoted to the visual culture of the Scandinavian and Baltic region.This article will look at the early works of Estonian architect and artist Jüri Okas and will try to work between diverging languages and interpretations, reading works by Okas against the background of Anglo-american conceptualism and minimalism of the same period. The first part of the paper will analyse a print by Jüri Okas that paraphrases works by the American artist Donald Judd and will try to show how Okas’ concept of minimalism differed from the Western one and the reasons behind it. The second part of the paper will focus on a conceptual book by Jüri Okas, consisting of a series of photographs of everyday and banal architectural objects, and compare it to Rober Venturi’s book on Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture. Finally, a comparison will be made with works of Robert Smithson in the context of concepts of waste, excess and the remainders of industrial civilisationPostprin
Christian view of the world in the works of Stefan Andres
No full textStefan Andres (1906 - 1970), a German prosaist, poet and playwriter was continuously writing from the thirties of the twentieth century until his death. The number and the extent of his works is considerable even though they are scarcely known to the current reader. In his lifetime, he was a well-read and popular author, but he slowly fell into oblivion not only among readers but also among germanists and students of germanistics. The aim of the thesis is to consequently present life and work of Stefan Andres focusing on his trilogy Die Sintflut (Flood). Die Sintflut, as well as other Andres' works, is an artistic, human but also politic testimony. This leads to other domain of Andres' activities - his political involvement. He disapproved of nacism and German postwar situation. The thesis comes to the conclusion that Andres' political agenda, mirrored in his works, emanates from and is motivated by his Christian conviction. Even a brief glance at Andres' novels, novellas and short stories allows to form a judgment that the meeting point of Andres' thoughts is Christian faith. He is rightfully categorized amongst Christian, conservative or directly among catholic authors even though he was a very unorthodox Christian. Novellas, which are still read, or at least evoked (their distinctive trait is that they..
