There is a very interesting and fairly recent literature on production  
from a "structuralist" approach associated with names such as Michael  
Landesmann, Roberto Scazzieri, Mauro Baranzini, Harald Hagemann and  
others, some of whom I believe were students/junior colleagues of  
Pasinetti and/or Lowe (see, e.g., the cites below). Since someone  
mentioned Georgescu-Rogen, I can't resist reference to his remark, I  
don't have the citation, that in a one-commodity model, abstaining from  
consuming yogurt results immediately in more bulldozers!
