Abstract

This paper reconstructs the awarding of the 1961 Soderstrom Gold Medal to Piero Sraffa by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It explains why the prize was created and highlights Gunnar Myrdal’s nomination of Sraffa for the award overseen by the Academy. Primary historical documents are used to establish the amicable relationship between these two economists and to point out their differences and affinities on issues relating to the history of economic thought, particularly in connection with Ricardo’s economics. In addition, Sraffa's activities in Stockholm are detailed, including his contact with Swedish economists and his attendance at the award ceremony. Contemporary reactions in Sweden and Italy to the awarding of this prize to Sraffa are reviewed. The final remarks offer some reflection on the significance of the 1961 Soderstrom Gold Medal for the history of economics as a field of study.
斯拉法,默达尔,和1961年Söderström金牌
本文重建了1961年瑞典皇家科学院授予皮耶罗·斯拉法的索德斯特罗姆金奖。它解释了该奖项的设立原因,并强调了贡纳·默达尔对斯拉法的提名,该奖项由学院监督。主要的历史文献被用来建立这两位经济学家之间的友好关系,并指出他们在与经济思想史有关的问题上的差异和相似之处,特别是与李嘉图经济学有关的问题。此外,还详细介绍了斯拉法在斯德哥尔摩的活动,包括他与瑞典经济学家的接触以及他出席颁奖典礼的情况。本文回顾了瑞典和意大利对授予斯拉法诺贝尔文学奖的反应。最后的评论提供了1961年索德斯特罗姆金奖对经济学史作为一个研究领域的意义的一些反思。
