Since you commented critically about Pasinetti : Nardozzi
has written a very appreciative account of his book
( he will probably publish it in Bevista di stofia economica)
in which he very surprisingly interprets the very abstract
Pasinetti theory as a historical account of capitalism
( it is all technology ).
Going back to Sraffa: My personal feeling is that his
philosophy of distribution is dominated by tell schema
of Marx : Two claaes, and a zero-sum game. This is why
he disliked Keynes's Gen.Th. However that be the shcema
of Marx has had a very bad influence because it distracts
attention fernm a number of very important things:
a) The existance of other classes such as the smallholders
in agriculture ( less important: professionals and managers )
which account for a very large population in the world.
b) The inter- national distribution problem, which,
in view of the trird world especially, is to-day of
very great importance for the course of history.
c) The underutilisation ( Keynes ) which means no zero sum game.
d) The deep conflicts of interest between different gromps
within both the capitalist and the wage earner camp.
( intra-cla3s conflicts )
But I must add that I know tattle about Sraflfa, only hearsay.
