Abstract or Description

Luigi Lodovico Pasinetti’s relationship with Sraffa’s literary remains (the Sraffa Papers) is unique in that he has both written about and appears within the material. In terms of the former aspect of writing about the Sraffa archive, Pasinetti was among the first Sraffa scholars to reproduce and analyse as early as 2001 important quotations from the Sraffa Papers that indicate Sraffa’s intellectual project, or ‘grand research programme.’ In terms of the latter aspect of appearing within the Sraffa archive, we find an important 16-page first draft (see D3/12/111:282-296) of Pasinetti’s 1966 article on reswitching that was eventually published in the Symposium on Paradoxes in Capital Theory that famously appeared in the Quarterly Journal of Economics. In this article we explore these aspects of Pasinetti’s presence about and within the Sraffa Papers.
