Many years after the publication of Sraffa's "Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities", works on capital theory from perspectives accommodating Sraffa's critical premises seem to have lost much of their initial strength and persuasion. This book, by contrast, aims at showing how Sraffa's theoretical contributions could be pursued in new directions, in effect providing an alternative paradigm to the postclassical economic theory and challenging the persistent dominance of a widespread economic culture based on that theory.
