Reference D1
Covering Dates 1923–63
Extent and Medium 4.5 boxes
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
