This volume investigates the enduring influence of Piero Sraffa’s economic theories and their critical application to contemporary neoclassical frameworks. The editors, Christian Gehrke, Gary Mongiovi, and Roberto Ciccone, assemble a collection of essays from internationally recognized scholars to evaluate Sraffa’s contributions to the classical approach to value and distribution. By synthesizing historical analysis with rigorous analytical critique, the text provides a comprehensive examination of how Sraffa’s work challenges established economic paradigms.

Experts identify this collection as a significant resource for scholars and students specializing in the history of economic thought. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose and the high level of technical proficiency required to engage with the contributors' arguments.
