Pasinetti (born September 12, 1930) is an Italian economist of the Post-Keynesians school. Pasinetti is considered the heir of the "Cambridge Keynesians" and a student of Piero Sraffa and Richard Kahn. Along with them, as well as Joan Robinson, he was one of the prominent members on the "Cambridge, UK" side of the Cambridge capital controversy. His contributions to economics include developing the analytical foundations of Neo-Ricardian economics, including the theory of value and distribution, as well as work in the line of Kaldorian theory of growth and income distribution. He has also developed the theory of structural change and economic growth, structural economic dynamics and uneven sectoral development. Luigi Lodovico Pasinetti was born on September 12, 1930, in Zanica, near Bergamo, in the north of Italy. He began his economics studies at the Universitá Cattolica S.C. of Milan, where he obtained his ¿laureä degree in 1954. The thesis that he presented dealt with econometric models applied to the analysis of the trade cycle. As a brilliant student, he won several scholarships for graduate studies which gained him access to Cambridge, England (1956 and 1958), Harvard, U.S.A. (1957) and Oxford, England (1959) for his graduate studies. In 1960 Nuffield College (Oxford) granted him a Research Fellowship that he enjoyed until 1962, the year in which he left Oxford for Cambridge, UK, called there by the prestigious economist Lord Richard Kahn. In those years, Years later, Pasinetti, remembering Kahn in a Memorial Service held at King's College Chapel, Cambridge on 21 October 1989, recalled that: Richard Goodwin was also part of this brilliant group of Cambridge economists, and exerted the first important influence on Pasinetti. In conveying the intellectual debt he owed him, Pasinetti writes: In 1960-1961 Pasinetti became a Fellow of King's College. Twelve years later in 1973, he was appointed Reader at the Cambridge, a post that he kept until his return
