Over the last few years we have been rethinking development economics adopting the standpoint of the Classical Surplus Approach, in the form in which this approach has been revived and modernised by Piero Sraffa and Pierangelo Garegnani since the early sixties. That, of course is not a fashionable route nowadays, and to our knowledge is not adopted elsewhere in Latin America at all, but it should perhaps be noted that this was the perspective taken by a fine theorist, historian of thought and development economist: the late Krishna Bharadwaj."(pg 2)engWith permission of the license/copyright holderdialogue ethicsprofessional ethicsplanned economiesEconomic ethicsEthics of economic systemsLabour/professional ethicsTechnology ethicsConsumer ethicsPreprint
