Marx after Sraffa is a 1977 book about Marxist economics by Ian Steedman, in which Steedman argues against the labor theory of value. Steedman has been criticized for alleged misunderstandings of Karl Marx.
Summary
Steedman offers a neo-Ricardian reading of Marx.[1] He employs Piero Sraffa's work to argue against the labor theory of value.[2]
Scholarly reception
Political scientist David McLellan writes in the 1995 edition of his Karl Marx: His Life and Thought that Steedman's reading of Marx has been influential.[3] Philosopher Roger Scruton notes that Steedman provides the most notable argument against the labor theory of value from the New Left.[4] Ernest Mandel sees Marx after Sraffa as another critique of Marx's Capital, and accuses Steedman of misunderstandings of Marx similar to those made by Paul Sweezy in his The Theory of Capitalist Development (1942).[5]
