I have thought it may not be altogether useless — after a century of marginal economic analysis — to go back to explore the possibilities, which may have remained unexploited, inherent into the other approach to economic reality, which has been left into oblivion since the time of the Classics. 3. A pure production model It is my purpose to develop, in the following pages, a theoretical model of economic growth for an industrial economic system. In the whole theory, a central rôle will be played by the learning process of human beings, in its twofold aspects of technical improvements and of consumers’ preference evolution. Scarce resources will not be considered, although of course this does not mean that they do not exist. It only means that the theory will be developed independently of any rational problem concerning their best utilization. All commodities considered are produced, and can be made practically in whatever quantity may be wanted, provided that they are devoted to the amount of efforts they technically require. Limitations of course exist, but not in the material world: they only reside in the knowledge and power of activity of Men. As will be realised, this means adopting a procedure which is exactly opposite, though symmetrical, to the one followed by marginal analysis. The scheme itself might be called a pure production model, as against the pure exchange model of marginal economics.
