This book explains how the growth of production is connected with achievements in technological consumption of labour and energy. The theory allows one to analyse the past and present of the social production system and to build scripts for future progress.

Revisits the theory of production of commodities from a physicist's standpoint

Presents a useful theory for analysing the technological sources of economic growth

Provides a compact and consistent basis for lectures on the theory of production

The text of the third edition is substantially revised, while three brand new chapters are added

Autorentext
Vladimir Pokrovskii has a title Professor of Applied Mathematics and the Russian degree Doctor of Sciences (Phys. and Math.). He is an expert in mathematical modelling of complex natural and social systems. Graduated from the Tomsk State University, Department of Theoretical Physics. The qualification has got in the Institute of Chemical Physics, cademy of Sciences of the USSR, investigating behaviour of suspensions and polymers. It is known as a prominent researcher of dynamics of polymers: the second edition of his monograph The Mesoscopic Theory of Polymer Dynamics, published by Springer in 2010, is included in the list of Best Reference Books on Polymer Dynamics, used by students of top universities, institutes and colleges. Worked as Professor and Head of Department of Applied Mathematics at Altai Technical University (Barnaul, Russia) and at Moscow University of Economics and Statistics. His interests are broad: to his students of Applied Mathematics,he delivered original course of lectures Methods of the mathematical modelling (published in Russian as Introduction to Thermodynamics of Complex Systems) that include classical examples from areas of mechanics, physics, chemistry, biology and economy. Persistent attempts to understand essence of economic processes have given a material for book Econodynamics. The Theory of Social Production, the third Edition of which is offered to the readers.
