“This volume is a fitting tribute to Sergio Parrinello’s untiring efforts to stimulate discussion among Classicals, Marxists, Postkeynesians, and Evolutionists in the famous Trieste Summer School meetings of the 1980s and 1990s. It carries the discussion into the 21th century.”Christian Gehrke, Department of Economics, University of Graz
