Krishna Bharadwaj’s Legacy
This article revisits the main tenets of Bharadwaj’s intellectual legacy, exploring her critique of methodological individualism, and her insistence on the distinction between objective and subjective magnitudes in the explanation of economic phenomena and her closeness to Sraffa, in defending the classical political economy approach against the theories based on the method of marginal analysis. I will summarize the main points of her critique of…
Why Was Keynes Keen to Invest in American but Not in British Investment Trusts
The literature on John Maynard Keynes’s activity as an investor has substantially grown in the last decade (e.g., Chambers and Dimson 2013; Accominotti and Chambers 2016; Chambers and Kabiri 2016; Cristiano, Marcuzzo, and Sanfilippo 2018; Marcuzzo and Rosselli 2018; Marcuzzo and Sanfilippo 2016, [2020] 2022). The contribution of the present paper is to investigate a specific feature of Keynes’s investment activity on his own account: his preferen…
The History of Economic Thought From the Viewpoint of Hes Presidential Addresses
The History of Economics Society (HES) has traveled a long way throughout its fifty conferences, from the first one organized by Warren Samuels and Vincent Tarascio on May 30 and 31, 1973, in Chicago, to the fiftieth annual meetings that took place on June 23 to 25, 2023, in Vancouver, Canada. This journey can be analyzed in different ways, and here we focus on the presidential addresses delivered as a guide to our analysis. From the conference p…
Victoria Chick (1936–2023), a Restless Challenger to Mainstream Economics
In this article on Victoria (Vicky) Chick (1936–2023), we intend to cover the main research areas into which Chick devoted her life’s work. We categorise the contributions into three broad fields. First, her work on Keynes’s General Theory and the message that economists have taken from it since its publication. Chick wrote extensively on the many misinterpretations of the General Theory that have clouded its message. Instead, through her writing…
Interpreting Joan Robinson Following in Geoff Harcourt’s Footsteps
In this paper, I present a bird’s-eye view of Robinson’s intellectual journey and I follow Harcourt in his assessment of her contributions and intellectual personality. From his many articles and books, in all his unconditional support and admiration of her, there were also some theoretical disagreements. These particularly revolve around her interpretation of Marx, and in some respects also of Sraffa. This bears witness to Harcourt’s integrity a…

Richard F. Kahn
This is an account of aspects of Richard Kahn’s life, activities and economic thinking, as told by him and assembled by Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, from extensive taped interviews with Kahn. The only form in which it has previously been published is as a 1988 Università di Modena discussion paper. In light of this inaccessibility, the Editors of the History of Economics Review welcomed the opportunity to make it readily available to interested intel…
Kalecki and Cambridge
This paper discusses Michał Kalecki’s impact on Cambridge’s major protagonists and, in turn, the impact they had on him during the time he spent in Cambridge. It concentrates on the criticisms he was met with on the part of Keynes, Kahn and Robinson, especially on his notion of the ‘degree of monopoly’. This was the reason for his departure from Cambridge, although he continued to receive support from his Cambridge friends. The rift between him a…

Ghislain Deleplace, Ricardo on Money. A Reappraisal
In writing this book Ghislain Deleplace had a clear purpose in mind, namely to show that Ricardo “was not only a giant on value, distribution, and accumulation, but on money too” and this dictated his strategy, which amounts to “providing a comprehensive study of Ricardo on money, to rehabilitating him as a theorist, accounting for all his monetary writings, and suggesting his relevance for modern analysis” (5). The book is divided into three par…
Taming the great depression
On alternative notions of change and choice
Krishna Bharadwaj, following upon the work and insights of Sraffa, made substantial contributions to our understanding of what is implied in the neoclassical notion of change and its related notion of choice; in this respect she appears closer to the spirit of Sraffa’s critique of neoclassical theory than many others. She also supplemented important elements in building an alternative approach, based on classical political economy, which is free …
Fighting Market Failure
This collection brings together fifteen essays published between 1994 and 2008 which all look into the contribution of a remarkable group of economists known as the "Cambridge school" or the "Cambridge Keynesians". The people involved are better defined as a "group" rather than a "school", to denote not adhesion to a common body of doctrine but rather the idea of both cohesion and sharing. This collection focuses on Keynes, Kahn, J. Robinson and …
Sraffa and his arguments against 'marginism'
The subtitle of Sraffa's most celebrated work, Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities, is prelude to a critique of economic theory. Given that no later work was ever published by Sraffa, we are left to wonder what would have come after the prelude. This paper suggests that the core of the critique might have been the marginal method itself. By carefully distinguishing between published and unpublished work, we shows that Sraffa's oppos…
Cambridge as aPlacein Economics
Cambridge as a geographical reference often crops up in the characterisation of the economic theories and approaches that developed in Cambridge (UK) between the 1920s and the 1960s with the contribution of economists who did not always share the same interests, background or attitudes, but who all lived and worked - for considerable periods of time - in that particular corner of the world.In order to reconstruct the Cambridge of those years and …
The“First” Imperfect Competition Revolution
Piero Sraffa at the university of Cambridge
This paper reconstructs the academic figure of Sraffa at the University of Cambridge as it emerges from his papers, his correspondence with the economists with whom he had special relations, and the official documents of the University, in particular in connection with his role in the Faculty of Economics and Politics, to which he belonged from 1927 to 1965. It presents a detailed examination of the various posts held by Sraffa at the University …
Joan Robinson and the three cambridge revolutions
Joan Robinson’s association with three Cambridge ‘revolutions’—imperfect competition, effective demand and capital theory—is examined in the context of her personal and intellectual partnership with Richard Kahn, John Maynard Keynes and Piero Sraffa. Initially, imperfect competition appeared to have successfully extended marginal analy-sis to all market forms. It also allowed Richard Kahn and Joan Robinson to persuade Keynes to present the main a…

The standard commodity and the standard of money
La question posée est de savoir si une marchandise peut être choisie arbitrairement comme étalon monétaire. L'analyse distingue la fonction de l'étalon monétaire et la fonction du numéraire. Ricardo a soulevé la question des caractéristiques que doit avoir la marchandise choisie comme étalon monétaire et a identifié l'invariabilité de la valeur comme la qualité principale d'un bon étalon monétaire. Vu l'échec de la recherche ricardienne d'une mes…

Profitability in the International Gold Market in the Early History of the Gold Standard
By looking at the available evidence on the London gold market in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, the paper presents a new formulation of the gold points and models the market behaviour behind gold movements. While there is evidence that the merchants’ behaviour sustained the purchasing power parity of gold in terms of currency, there is none to support the view that gold flows realized the purchasing power parity of gol…
