Fra Keynes e Sraffa: prospettive storiografiche sul pensiero economico di Fausto Vicarelli (Between Keynes and Sraffa: Historiographical perspectives on Fausto Vicarelli's economic though)

This paper aims at suggesting some historiographical perspectives on Fausto Vicarelli’s economic thought by devoting particular attention to the model which he set up in order to overcome what he recognized as logical inconsistency of the neoclassical synthesis model. In particular, through a close comparison between the implications of the latter and several passages from the General Theory, Vicarelli points out that the neoclassical synthesis model must be regarded as the result of an instrumental interpretation of Keynesian economic thought, still tied to a neoclassical analytical framework.
