Ricardo - The New View : Collected Essays I

Samuel Hollander’s interpretation of Ricardo has attracted apoplectic responses from both Right and Left.This volume collects together the material needed to evaluate these responses.His basic position - that Ricardo stands in a continuous analytical line leading from Adam Smith to Alfred Marshall - is seen to antagonise both those who argue for a ‘marginal revolution’ and a sharp divide between classical and neo-classical economics, and those who want to champion Ricardo as a forerunner of Sraffa.
