Abstract

“The path of a scholar” is the introduction to Production, Distribution and Trade: Alternative Perspectives, a volume of essays in honour of Sergio Parrinello (edited by Adriano Birolo, Duncan Foley, Heinz Kurz, Bertram Schefold and Ian Steedman, published by Routledge, 2010). The author traces out the scientific career of Sergio Parrinello in context of the italian market for economists of the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century and critically discusses his most significant works, specially those have resulted as seminal contributions for the later development of the neo-Ricardian theory. This discussion inevitably evolves in a tentative appraisal of the meaning of the neo-Ricardian theory in the recent history of political economy.
