Chapter 1 in Towards a New Understanding of Sraffa, 2014, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Sraffa Archive at the Wren Library, Trinity College, Cambridge, has been open for consultation by interested scholars since 1993, one decade after the economist’s death. A project of publishing in 3 volumes a substantial selection of his papers is on-going, coordinated by Heinz Kurz with the contributions of many serious Sraffa scholars. It is certain to be a landmark and no doubt an essential tool to deepen our knowledge of Piero Sraffa, and finally reopen the debate on his works, foremost of all his masterpiece Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities: Prelude to a Critique of Economic Theory (PCMC). But in the last twenty years the visitors consulting the mass of mostly hand-written notes of the Sraffa Papers (SP)1 and his vast personal library known simply as the Sraffa Collection (SC) have been numerous, and many debates have been and remain conducted about the legacy of the Italian economist.
