| Content and context |
| Items D1/2-D1/51 were bundled together and marked "Notes up to 1927" by Sraffa. In most cases this date is our only evident terminus ante quem. Sraffa's own file titles are given in inverted commas Items D1/54-90 were bundled together and marked "Notes 1928-31" by Sraffa although some items predate this. Items D1/54-68 formed a sub-bundle Items D1/70-89 relate principally to the "circus" of economists who discussed Keynes' Treatise on Money For notes used for the research for Production of Commodities by means of commodities see D3/12
