We also argue that in such a theory the accumulation of durable goods (i.e. wealth) is actually a key feature. Moreover under straightforward assumptions, notably the "no-loss" rule for transactions wealth is a non-decreasing function of goods and money. Explicit formulae for wealth and several derived variables (marginal values) are derived. We also show how conventional utility functions are related to the wealth function| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
