Abstract

Baranzini and Mirante stress how up to 1962 economic theory did not offer an analysis of ‘structural economic dynamics’. The theory of growth was confined to one-sector macro-models; from here to multi-sector models the step is complex. Pasinetti was first in formulating in his 1962 Cambridge Ph.D. a simple multi-sectoral growth theory subject to changing production coefficients (technical progress) and changing consumption coefficients (according to Engel’s Law). Moreover, Pasinetti’s vertically hyper-integrated sectors possess remarkable analytical and normative properties; a generalization may be obtained of Adam Smith’s pure labour theory of value. Pasinetti’s current project is to formulate a theory of value that goes back to Adam Smith, bypassing the frame of analysis of economists like Leontief, Sraffa, Marx, Ricardo and many others.
