Theory of Capital
This element has dealt with basics of time, for this reason the question how time is treated in Economics and ecological Economics was not in the focus. Here we give at least some short remarks and additional annotated literature.
The classical field of temporary economic development it the theory of capital. Introductions are given by Bliss (1975), Burmeister (1980), Hartcourt (1972), Hennings, (1997), Stephan (1995) and Weizsäcker (1971).
Similar as in philosophy capital theory is characterized by many controversies, because of the different approaches. Overviews are given by Bernholz (1993) Burmeister (1974), Faber (1980; 1986: Chapters 1 and 2), Kurz (1990).
Bernholz, Peter (1993) “The Importance of Böhm-Bawerk’s Theory of Capital and Interest. Böhm-Bawerk is the founder of the Austrian theory of capital, which has found a renaissance (Bernholz 1994, Faber (1979), Hennings 1997), Stephan (1996) and Weizsäcker (1971) because of the dissatisfaction with neoclassical capital theory (Bliss 1974) beginning in the seventies of the previous century).

Hartcourt, Geoffrey C. (1972) Some Cambridge Controversies on the Theory of Capital, Cambridge, England, Cambridge University Press. Sraffa’s book (1960) has led to Neo-Ricardian theory of capital, which lead to a heated controversy with neoclassical economists. Hartcourt’s book gives a detailed account of it.

Sraffa, Piero (1960) Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press. Sraffa is as the Neo-Austrians an outsider in economics. Sraffa employs a classical approach which has Ricardian traits, but also some in common with the Marxian approach. An example is that the demand side is missing. His book gave rise to the Neo-Ricardian school. (see Faber 1980 and Newman 1962).
