Abstract

This paper reconsiders the debate between de Vivo and Hollander over the ‘further evidence’ in favour of Sraffa's ‘corn model’ interpretation of Ricardo in the light of Torrens's Letter to Lord Liverpool (1816). It is argued that the Letter provides unique evidence of the influence on Torrens of Ricardo's Essay on Profits (1815); and that, contrary to de Vivo, the evidence is not that of a ‘corn model’ influence. It is further argued that the manner in which the Letter has been dealt with is unsatisfactory. The shortcomings in Hollander's position are traced to peculiarities in his long-standing interpretation of the early Ricardo.

Key Words: Sraffa • Torrens • Ricardo • Corn model
