David Laibman is Professor of Economics at Brooklyn College and the Graduate School, City University of New York.[1] He received a Ph.D. in Economics in 1973 at the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research in New York.[2] His dissertation, The Invariance Condition for Value-Price Transformation in a Linear, Non-Decomposable Two-Sector Model, dealt with the so-called transformation problem.[3] Laibman teaches economic theory, political economy, and mathematical economics, at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels at CUNY.[2]
He is the Editor of Science & Society, a quarterly Marxist journal now in its seventy first year of publication.[1]
Laibman is the author of three books: Value, Technical Change and Crisis: Explorations in Marxist Economic Theory (1992), Capitalist Macrodynamics: A Systematic Introduction (1997), and Deep History: A Study in Social Evolution and Human Potential (2007).[2]
He is also a fingerstyle guitarist, especially its application to the ragtime music of the early twentieth century. With Eric Schoenberg, Laibman recorded The New Ragtime Guitar for Folkways in 1970. His solo album, Classical Ragtime Guitar, was released by Rounder Records in 1980.[4] He has just issued a DVD, Guitar Artistry of David Laibman Stefan Grossman Guitar Workshop, 2007.
Between 1999 and 2004, at least nine pieces by David Laibman were published that dealt with the Temporal single-system interpretation (TSSI) of Marx's value theory.[5] His "The Okishio Theorem and Its Critics" was the first published response to the temporalist critique of Okishio's theorem. The theorem was widely thought to have disproved Karl Marx's law of the tendential fall in the rate of profit, but proponents of the TSSI claim that Okishio's theorem is false and that their work refutes it. Laibman argued that the theorem is true and that TSSI research does not refute it. For further information, see [1].
