Sraffa, Piero, ed. 1951-1955. The Works and Correspondence of  
David Ricardo. (With the collaboration of M. Dobb.) 11 volumes.  
Cambridge, Cambridge University Press. 
 
Both for the standard of scholarship and the novelty of  interpretation  
this edition stands out as an unrivaled achievement in the field. Sraffa' s 
remorseless quest for unpublished letters, unpublished writings,  
biographical and historical details produced a masterpiece edition  
which paved the way to the discovery of the classical approach, which  
had been "submerged and forgotten since the advent the 'marginalist'  
method." The Introduction to the Principles provided the the clue to  
the solution of unsettled questions in classical political economy and  
the cornerstone to an alternative approach to  theory of value and  
distribution.
