ABSTRACT
Those who have resisted the elegant, siren-like lure of neoclassical economics have been fortunate in not having been forced to reinvent the wheel in mounting opposition to orthodoxy. Instead, they have been able to find refuge in the shadows cast by three figures of enormous and enduring intellect: Karl Marx, Piero Sraffa and John Maynard Keynes. Each of their legacies stakes out definite paths away from the ‘mainstream’.
