Pierangelo Garegnani Book order

Focusing on the theory of value and distribution, this collection showcases Pierangelo Garegnani's influential essays, selected by the author himself. It emphasizes the continuation of Piero Sraffa's critique of marginalist thought, particularly concerning capital treatment. Garegnani also reexamines the classical political economy's surplus approach to distribution. His work aims to strengthen the Keynesian principle of effective demand by eliminating marginalist elements and integrating classical distribution explanations, offering a comprehensive alternative economic perspective.

The book features a dialogue between renowned economists Pierangelo Garegnani and Paul Samuelson, delving into classical and marginalist (neoclassical) economic theories. Their discussion is enriched by a new introduction from Heinz Kurz, providing context and insights into the contrasting perspectives of these influential economic frameworks.
