Piero Sraffa’s path breaking book Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities (1960) inspired several reviews and books by Indian economists. The notable ones are by Krishna Bharadwaj, P. R. Brahmananda, Gautam Mathur, Sukhamoy Chakravarty, Arun Bose, A. K. Dasgupta. Sraffa’s ideas were variously employed to understand agriculture, economic growth, and development. An Indian edition of the classic was also published. In this workshop, we will engage with the Indian reception to Sraffa’s economic thought.
YSI, in association with the Indian Society of History of Economic Thought (ISHET), and in collaboration with University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad and Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, is organizing a two and half days long workshop particularly directed towards researchers and students with an interest in classical political economy (CPE), Sraffian political economy, history of economic thought, and economic development from a CPE perspective.
