"That is in the classical scheme, the conditions of production (the cost of production measured in terms of human labour) determine the natural price, which in turn is a determinant of effectual demand" (N. O. Martins).

"In fact Smith's 'effectual demand' could only be described as a *point*, and not a *schedule*, in the price-quantity space" (P. Garegnani).

"Thus, 'effectual demand' was defined by Smith as 'the demand of those who are willing to pay the natural price of the commodity' with the 'natural' or normal price being therefore a necessary datum for defining that 'demand' itself" (P. Garegnani).

"Thus the market price will gravitate around the natural price, as Smith argues, but it is very difficult to trace the exact steps by which this gravitation takes place" (N. O. Martins).

"But if demand is systematically driving the market price above (or below) the cost of production, more (or less) goods will be produced, bringing the market price back to the natural price" (N. O. Martins).

"The natural price reflects the cost of production, measured in terms of human labour. The *market price*, which is the price that is actually observed in the economy, may be different from the natural price" (N. O. Martins).

"A suitably generalised labour theory of value is therefore neither incomplete or incoherent, and need not be restricted to a normative role, but spans both the natural and institutional stages of analysis" (I. Wright).
