Sraffian economics, Heterodox economists

Abstract

The aim of this article is to argue that the Sraffian paradigm is still alive and may be the basis of an alternative to the marginalist research program, contrary to the presentation in Garrido de la Morena (2010) article, “Where have all the Sraffians gone?”. The author is right to point out the worrying invisibility of this economic approach in academia. Yet, this situation should be analyzed as an offshoot of the cultural hegemony of neoliberalism, and not of the intellectual underdevelopment of the Sraffian current or the disputes of its members.
