Piero Sraffa's work has had a lasting impact on economic theory and
yet we know surprisingly little about the man behind it. This is
the first intellectual biography of Sraffa and it details his
working relationship with thinkers as diverse as Gramsci, Keynes,
Wittgenstein as well as discussing the genesis of his major works.
A friend of Gramsci, a colleague of Keynes and a correspondent of
Wittgenstein, Piero Sraffa made contributions to economics and
philosophy for over 60 years. This book discusses his intellectual
evolution from his student days in Italy to his extended period as
librarian at the Marshall Library of Economics in Cambridge.
Charting Sraffa's political development in Italy to the point where
he was forced to flee Mussolini's regime, the book pays particular
attention to his relationship with Gramsci, detailing both their
protracted and wide-ranging philosophical discussions and his
central role in preserving "The Prison Notebooks".
