Antonio Gramsci et ses tentatives de dialogue avec Piero Sraffa en histoire de la pensée économique

P. Sraffa supported materially and morally the Marxist theorist A. Gramsci, imprisoned by the fascist regime. This paper deals with the discussion attempts between them about questions concerning the history of the economic thought. Writing the Prison’s Notebooks, Gramsci was interested, on several occasions, with the birth and evolution of economic science. He transmitted the fruit of his reflections to Sraffa, especially on Machiavel, Ricardo and the classical economics. Sraffa tried to answer to some of his doubts.
