====================
The implications are pretty immense, which is why they're largely ignored by US economists.
Steve Keen is probably the best "popularizer" of Sraffa's approach to political economy:

His book "Debunking Economics is very well written, even in the technical hot spots.
Re your other post on "old" Institutionalist approaches; Daniel Bromley at the Univ. of Wisconsin is the best expositor of that approach. Univ. of Wisc. being the school in the US most identified with Institutionalism.
