Previously published as special issues of The European Journal of
the History of Economic Thought and The Review of Political
Economy, this volume contains the papers devoted to the life and
work of Piero Sraffa. Sraffa was a leading intellectual of the
twentieth century. He was brought to Cambridge by John Maynard
Keynes and had an important impact on the philosopher Ludwig
Wittgenstein. He received the golden medal Soederstroem of the
Swedish Academy of Sciences for his edition of David Ricardo's
Works and Correspondence and he is the author of Production of
Commodities by Means of Commodities, one of the most often cited
book in economics. Using hitherto unpublished material from
Sraffa's literary heritage kept at Trinity College, Cambridge, the
papers throw new light on the intellectual development of the young
Sraffa and correct several of the received views on him and his
contribution. Themes covered concern his: objectivism rediscovery
and reformulation of the classical theory of value and distribution
criticism of Alfred Marshall's analysis relationship with his
Cambridge colleagues and friends biography around the time when he
left Italy for the UK friendship with Wittgenstein and his impact
on the latter's thinking.
