 | A Reflection on Sraffa’s Revolution in Economic Theory This book presents a substantial collection of essays from a wide range of well respected scholars addressing several aspects of Piero Sraffa's economics in light of continuing controversies over the interpretation that should be placed on his work. It moves beyond extant scholarship with an added emphasis on the philosophical dimension of Sraffa's seminal work, Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities . Contributors probe new ways of thinking about the political economy of Sraffa and in doing so, alongside the comments to each contribution by other scholars, provide a cutting edge debate and discussion on non-mainstream economic theory. This book will be of interest to academics and advanced graduate students in economics, with additional interest from scholars in philosophy and the methodology of science. Ajit Sinha is Professor at Thapar School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Patiala, India. He has published extensively in the area of history of economic theory. His previously published work includes Theories of Value from Adam Smith to Piero Sraffa , A Revolution in Economic Theory: The Economics of Piero Sraffa (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016) and Essays on Theories of Value in the Classical Tradition (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019). |
