I also don't get the point of economics in which there is no supply and demand dynamics, such as the Sraffian model. How then do you talk about what is characteristic of capitalism--the rightward jumps in the supply curve as the consequence of responses to disequilibrium in the previous period. The supply curve is being shifted rightward, which means that consumers are likely to demand a higher quantity, but that often takes education or propaganda, so demand is hardly the autonomous action of sovereign consumers. They are constantly manipulated to want the new greater 'equilibrium' quantity that a rightward shift in the supply curves makes possible. Supply is in the saddle/And Ride Demand. I am just really frustrated with the way supply and demand dynamics are taught in almost every textbook.
