"The great prominence – for both width and depth – of Heinz Kurz and Neri Salvadori’s contributions is unanimously recognized by all scholars interested in Piero Sraffa’s works (published and unpublished) and in the revival of the classical approach to value and distribution. This volume not only adds to the collections of essays by these authors already published, but, by broadening the field of analysis or providing new insights on issues they already dealt with, it completes them. One could say that, because of a sort of positive externality, the new collection of essays by Kurz and Salvadori also increases the importance of the previous ones."Saverio M.
