Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to share the CfP for a workshop devoted to the Indian
reception to Piero Sraffa organised with support from YSI and University of
Hyderabad, India.

---

Piero Sraffa’s pathbreaking book *Production of Commodities by Means of
Commodities* (1960) inspired several reviews and books by Indian
economists. The notable ones are by Krishna Bharadwaj, P. R. Brahmananda,
Gautam Mathur, Sukhamoy Chakravarty, Arun Bose, A. K. Dasgupta. Sraffa’s
ideas were variously employed to understand agriculture, economic growth,
and development. An Indian edition of the classic was also published.

In this workshop, we will engage with the Indian reception to Sraffa’s
economic thought. What are the findings based on the correspondence from
Sraffa’s archive? Was there any intellectual connection between Sraffa’s
work and the Indian Input-Output Research Association (IORA)? How did
Indian journals receive Sraffa’s 1960 work? When and how did Sraffa’s ideas
enter the syllabi of Indian universities?
