The Origins of Piero Sraffa’s Equations
No full textThis paper investigates the origins of the equations which form the structure of Piero Sraffa’s 1960 book Production of Commodities by means of Commodities. Our aim will be pursued from two opposite directions. On the one hand, we will take advantage of our knowledge of the shape that Sraffa’s equations assumed in Production of Commodities and move backward from 1960 towards the late 1920s – swimming, so to speak, against the current of documents produced by Sraffa while preparing his book, up to the point where we may find information on the equations he originally wrote. On the other hand, we will select a moment in time remote enough to be able to assume that those equations were still out of his own sight and follow the string of the extant manuscripts up to the point where we may see how those equations emerged

This note is focused on two particular aspects of Sraffa's activity aimed at helping Gramsci during the years of the latter's detention.
