Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to bring out the special characters of Paolo Sylos Labini experience concerning his work on the history of the discipline. It includes three successive parts. The first investigates the extent to which Sylos Labini can be considered as a Schumpeterian scholar. The second exhibits how Sylos Labini?s economic analysis offers a specific combination of economic dynamic and history of economic thought. The last part concerns Sylos Labini attitude towards Sraffa seen both as a man and an economist. The paper concludes showing how Sylos Labini belongs to a generation of Italian economists who continued to consider a serious study of the history of the discipline as an important part of their research work as economists.
