Thanks to Michael, Juriaan and Ahmet for the reference to Shaikh's work. I should have warned you that I knew this paper, and that the very few critiques of productions functions I have found led to this paper. As I mentioned in my first mail, I am now not looking for immanent critiques of neoclassical production function (like the Shaikh paper), but trying to find out if some (let us put it plain) Marxist author confront the concept of production function with Marxian theory, in particular Marx's definition of "productive power of labor" (Produktivkraft der Arbeit) -commonly confused by "historical materialists" as just "productive powers" or "productive forces", or, worst, "forces of production"- and how capital appears to have such productive powers in the production process (see chapter on cooperation, Capital Volume I).
