'This is a welcome addition to the literature on Sraffa. It brings together a large number of important papers by distinguished researchers representing an influential and widely shared interpretation of his work. It will be of great use to scholars who are closely familiar with Sraffa and to those who are not. The collection is likely to generate increased interest in Sraffa and add to the high level of expectation and anticipation directed toward the eventual publication of Sraffa's unpublished papers.'
