 Cambridge Capital Controversy - Economics Dictionary of Arguments
 
Cambridge Capital Controversy: The Cambridge Capital Controversy was a debate between economists from Cambridge, UK (e.g., Joan Robinson, Piero Sraffa) and Cambridge, US (e.g., Paul Samuelson) in the 1950s–70s. It questioned the neoclassical concept of aggregate capital, highlighting issues like reswitching and capital reversing, ultimately challenging the validity of marginal productivity theory in determining income distribution. See also Capital theory, Capital structure, Production theory, Neo-Keynesianism, Neo-Neoclassicals.
