This contribution was the "Exhaustion of the product" which we derived in class. Explain the importance of this contribution. Explain the significance of the Euler theorem and the assumption of constant returns to scale in deriving the solution. In what ways is this contribution similar to Marx's Transformation Problem, in what ways is it different?

You will have two archs to trace. First those theorists who are trying to prove that the system is stable. Secondly those who are trying to prove that the system is inherently unstable. For each scholar provide their position on the issue as well as the theoretical mechanism that drives stability/instability. Be sure to include each of the following:
