Excellent John!
This is one which I hadn't as yet done the maths on [I have for other issues, like the proof that for competitive firms to have a cost curve identical to a monopoly, marginal cost must be constant]. There are in addition a number of other proofs originally done by my once PhD supervisor and very good friend Geoff Fishburn. Together, they make a mockery of the neoclassical model of the firm--so an excellent *joint* paper is feasible, and something I'd like to work on after "Debunking" is published.
Cheers, Steve

I don't know whether Ric is going to release this to the list, but you might be interested anyway:

I have posted a formal proof of Steve Keen's hypothesis. I believe that it is robust against all assumptions short of infinite supplier entry.

It is, of course, Steve's baby, but I would like to share in any comments,
