A critical assessment of Sraffa's published works and their legacy for the economics profession.

On the basis of a specific methodology attributed to Sraffa, I present a critical assessment of certain conflicting positions that characterize the book Critical Essays on Piero Sraffa's Legacy in Economics (ed. H. Kurz, 2000). A criticism is addressed to Samuelson's view according to which the assumption of constant returns is an essential ingredient of Sraffa's theory of prices.

Some questions are raised about the constructive scope of the theoretical work developed along the guidelines of Sraffa's book.

These volumes present seven of Sraffa's most significant articles in the context of a wide selection of articles which have extended, built upon or been significantly influenced by his work.

These volumes bring together 115 articles on this great economist. The work presents a detailed overview of the analytical writings from contemporary sources through to the present day
