The neo-Ricardian school is an economic school of thought that derives from the close reading and interpretation of David Ricardo by Piero Sraffa, and from Sraffa's critique of neoclassical economics as presented in his The Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities, and further developed by the neo-Ricardians in the course of the Cambridge capital controversy. It particularly disputes the neoclassical theory of income distribution. Robert Rowthorn, in his 1974 article, Neo-classicism, neo-Ricardianism and Marxism in the New Left Review (I, 86), coined the name. Franklin Delano Roosevelt III, with his dissertation, Towards a Marxist Critique of the Cambridge School, put forth a similar view. The name "Sraffian economics" is also used.Heinz D. Kurz and Neri Salvadori, "Neo-Ricardian economics", in Gilbert Faccarello, Heinz D. Kurz (eds.), Handbook on the History of Economic Analysis, Volume II: Schools of Thought in Economics (2016)
