Biography
Jørgen Sandemose is Professor Emeritus at the University of Oslo, Norway, where he was made Magister Artium in philosophy (with a dissertation on concept formation in Hegel and Marx) in 1973, supported by a full candidatus magisterii exam from 1971. In addition to his academic career, he has worked for fifteen years in the chemico-metallic industry and has held positions of trust in local and national Norwegian trade unions.
In 1975 he published the monograph Ricardo, Marx og Sraffa (published in separate editions in Denmark, Norway and Sweden), where he exposed Sraffian mistakes related to Marx’s theory of the numéraire and the "transformation problem". In English, he has published essays on the relation between Sraffa and Wittgenstein and on Marx’s method in economic science.
