SRAFFA (Piero).
Produzione di merci a mezzo di merci. Premesse a una critica della teoria economica.
The first Italian translation of Sraffa’s ‘classic in capital theory’, his critique of the orthodox theory of value and distribution which laid the groundwork for the revival of classical and Marxian approaches. Originally published in English earlier in the same year, Sraffa considered this Italian edition as an original work in its own right.
‘Production of Commodities is a peculiarly sparse book. The argument has been pared to the absolute minimum to sustain the propositions which Sraffa wishes to advance. Yet the precision and logical elegance of the argument are the work of an artist working in the medium of economic theory’ (New Palgrave).
