[OPE-L] Sraffa's Contribution to Marxian Political Economy

[Jerry Levy <Gerald_A_Levy@xxxxxxx>]

Title: Saturday 9am

There was a very interesting panel at the Eastern Economics Association 2007

Conference yesterday on this subject.  Riccardo was one of the presenters;

Gary was a commentator (along with Robert Solow [!] and Ed Nell).  Other

familiar comrades such as Gil Skillman and   Duncan Foley were also there.

It may surprise some of you to hear that although I entered the room at

4:03 PM there was standing-room only in the packed room.  Although

some of those attending were probably there primarily to hear Solow

(although, I could be mistaken:  maybe they were there primarily to hear

Riccardo?)  I think it's also clear that this was evidence that there was quite

a bit of interest in both Sraffa and Marxian political economy. 

 

In solidarity, Jerry
