Moving targets: the multifarious world of Paolo Sylos Labini

K. W. Rothschild*

*University of Linz

Abstract

The paper reviews a book by Sylos Labini consisting of ten previously published articles, specially adapted for this edition. The book provides an excellent introduction to Sylos' work. It is characterised above all by his stress on the importance of a dynamic perspective. He applies this perspective both to the analysis of the economic processes as such and to the institutional background against which these processes must be seen. The paper tries to extract from the book a concentrated picture of the methodological approach and its application to problems of inflation, unemployment, business cycles, technical progress and oligopoly. Sylos' special position between different ‘schools’—neoclassical, Keynesian, Schumpeterian—becomes evident.
