Full text: Brief von Josef Steindl an Alessandro Roncaglia

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

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 )

In Perugia I got an idea about a paper to quite: All policy
