Transformation problem - Tenkamandai (English spelling)

Japanese: 転化問題 - てんかもんだい（英語表記）transformation problem

Since Marx discussed the relationship between value and production price as the "transformation of value into production price," the debate on deriving production price (the price that establishes the uniform rate of profit) based on Marxian value (embodied labor) has been called the "problem of transformation," or the "problem of transformation," and this problem has a long history. Marx's theory of transformation consists of the following three total coincidence propositions: cost prices (constant capital plus variable capital; see the "constant capital and variable capital" section) are the same in both the value dimension and the production price dimension (proposition 1), total surplus value is equal to total average profit (proposition 2), and total value is equal to total production price (proposition 3).

マルクスが価値と生産価格の関係を〈価値の生産価格への転化〉として論じて以来，マルクス的価値(体化労働)を基礎にして生産価格(均等利潤率を成立せしめる価格)を導出する議論が転化問題，あるいは転形問題とよばれるが，この問題の歴史は長い。マルクスの転化論はつぎの三つの総計一致命題からなる。すなわち，費用価格(不変資本プラス可変資本。〈不変資本･可変資本〉の項参照)は価値の次元でも生産価格の次元でも同一である(第1命題)，総剰余価値は総平均利潤に等しい(第2命題)，総価値は総生産価格に等しい(第3命題)。
