Abstract

The purpouse of this article is to analyze the propositions advanced by Sraffa about the differences between basic and non basic goods and to indicate some of their weakness. Among them the most conspicuous are the following: i) the confusions of some properties of non fundamental goods with those pertaining to luxury goods and ii) to overlook the possibility for non basic goods to determine the rate of profits. This difficulties invalidate the proposed distinction between the two types of goods. Which in his tourn cast a doubt about the meaning of the standar commodity, that is partly based on this distintion. // En este trabajo se analizan las proposiciones establecidas por Sraffa respecto a las diferencias de los bienes básicos y los no básicos con la finalidad de señalar sus debilidades. Entre ellas sobresalen las dos siguientes: i) la confusión de algunas propiedades de los bienes no fundamentales que participan en la producción con las que corresponden a los bienes de lujo y ii) pasar por alto la posibilidad de que los bienes no fundamentales determinen la tasa de ganancia. Estas dificultades invalidan la distinción propuesta entre los dos tipos de bienes. Lo que pone en duda la pertinencia del significado atribuido por el autor a la mercancía patrón, que se basa parcialmente en esta distinción.
