Abstract

The paper discusses Steindl's impact on Italian economists, both through his writings and through direct personal influence. Three representative Italian economists are considered: Sylos Labini, Becattini and Salvati. This provides the opportunity for a cursory discussion of some aspects of Steindl's theory of stagnation and market forms, of his methodology, of post-Keynesian distribution theory. The limits of this latter theory are discussed with reference to the Smithian ‘competition of capitals’ and the Sraffian assumption of a uniform rate of profits; a possible reconciliation between the post-Keynesian and Sraffian approaches to distribution is then sketched. Steindl's role in the Trieste School for advanced economic studies is also briefly illustrated.
