An Italian in Cambridge

Alessandro Roncaglia

Chapter 2 in Piero Sraffa, 2009, pp 22-40 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The 1926 paper published in the Economic Journal had considerable impact, especially in Cambridge, and Keynes had no difficulty in offering Sraffa a position as lecturer at the university which was then — and would continue to be for many years to come — the most prestigious centre for the study of economic theory in the world. In 1926 Sraffa had also been awarded a professorship in political economy in Italy, at Cagliari, but after Gramsci’s imprisonment and the threats he himself received as an anti-fascist,1 he decided to move to England. He lived there from 1927 until his death, on 3 September 1983.
