Piero Sraffa and the future of economics

Luigi L. Pasinetti

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 2012, vol. 36, issue 6, 1303-1314

Abstract: How did Piero Sraffa look at the future of economic theory: first, when he arrived in England in the mid-1920s, and then, after the publication of his extraordinarily compact little book (Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities, 1960)? The Author sifts through Sraffa's published works, and abundant unpublished papers, his acquaintances and personal contacts and vicissitudes. The conclusions he arrives at remain problematical; but do not refrain him from clearly expressing his specific, quite definite views. Copyright , Oxford University Press.
