Gelir dağılımı mefhumu sosyal, kültürel, ekonomik ve politik yönleriyle İktisat biliminin en kompleks konularından biridir. Bu noktada Piero Sraffa İktisat bilimine katkı sağlayan en önemli bilim adamlarından olmakla birlikte,n başyapıtı olan Malların Mallarla Üretimi, İktisat Kuramını Eleştiriye Açış adlı kitabında gelir dağılımına ilişkin açık bir teori ortaya koymamıştır. Her ne kadar kitabında gelir dağılımına ilişkin somut bir teori olmasa da Sraffa’nın Klasiklerin aksine geçimlik ücreti ele almaması ve kar havuzu yaklaşımı dolayısıyla, teorileri Marx’ın emeğin sömürüsü çerçevesinde incelenmektedir. Fakat Sraffa’nın bu yaklaşımının başta geçimlik ücreti oluşturan zorunlu malların doğası noktasındaki problemler olmak üzere diğer bir takım teknik problemler sebebiyle de oluştuğu söylenebilir. Çalışmamızda Sraffa’nın gelir dağılımına yönelik yaklaşımı Politik Ekonomi çerçevesinde ve Sraffa’nın arşiv çalışmaları yardımıyla incelenmiştir.

PIERO SRAFFA ON INCOME DISTRIBUTION

Öz

Distributional aspect of Economics is very complex due to having many different dimensions such as social and cultural, economic and the most importantly political dimensions of it. Piero Sraffa is the one of the most exciting contributors of the economics science. However, his contribution doesn’t contain an explicit theory of income distribution. While his open ended book Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities Prelude to a Critique of Economic Theory does not cover distribution of social surplus, his abandonment of subsistence wage together with his reference to the pool of profit concept derived from his archive interpreted from Marxian exploitation of labor perspective. Nevertheless that abandonment and pool of profit concept might have been interpreted
from technical perspective related to the problematic nature of necessities
too. In our study Sraffa’s theory and methodology is investigated with
the help of archival material to analyze distributional implications of it from
Political Economy perspective.
