Piero Sraffa and the Mill-Ricardo papers: a rejoinder
Article Abstract:
Giancarlo de Vivo has added to the debate on papers by David Ricardo and James Mill found in 1943. Some notes on work by Malthus could have been mistakenly omitted by Piero Sraffa who published his account of the papers in 1951. The papers are important in discovering how ideas developed in economics and they should be given publicity. No one person can claim to have found the key to understanding economics and the issue of hermeneutics or the significance of meaning is important here.

Piero Sraffa and the Mill-Ricardo papers: a comment
Article Abstract:
Piero Sraffa has carried out work on David Ricardo and James Mill's papers and a debate has arisen over letter written by Ricardo to Mill. Ricardo wrote a manuscript dealing with a work by Malthus called Measure of Value. Sraffa did not publish this work in his work on Ricardo, though the content was included elsewhere. Pier Luigi Porta has claimed that the work on Malthus was suppressed due not not conforming to a view held by Sraffa. but this claim does not appear to be valid.

How Piero Sraffa found Ricardo's letters to Mill
Article Abstract:
The circumstances behind the discovery of letters sent by David Ricardo to fellow economist James Mill from 1819 to 1823 were discussed. The discovery, in July, 1943, was the culmination of years of research by Italian writer Piero Sraffa. The Ricardo letters were found in metal by C.K. Mill, a descendant of James Mill, in the house of his father-in-law F.E. Cairnes in Dublin, Ireland. The letters are important in the research involving Ricardo's theory of value.
