In Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities, Sraffa writes: "others have from time to time independently taken up points of view which are similar to one or other of those adopted in this paper and have developed them further or in different directions from those proposed here." -- P. Sraffa (1960): pp. vi - vii. Who is Sraffa talking about? I suggest the following, and their works, at least: Tjalling C. Koopmans (1957). Three Essays on the State of Economic Science. New York: McGraw-Hill Wassily W. Leontief (1941). Structure of the American Economy, 1919-1929. Jacob T. Schwartz (1961). Lectures on the Mathematical Method in Economics. New York: Gordon & Breach. John Von Neumann (1945-1946). A Model of General Economic Equilibrium, A Model of General Economic Equilibrium.

Robert Vienneau considers the following as important:
This could be interesting, too:
Jeremy Smith writes UK workers’ pay over 6 years – just about keeping up with inflation (but one sector does much better…)
Robert Vienneau writes The Emergence of Triple Switching and the Rarity of Reswitching Explained
Lars Pålsson Syll writes Schuldenbremse bye bye
Robert Skidelsky writes Lord Skidelsky to ask His Majesty’s Government what is their policy with regard to the Ukraine war following the new policy of the government of the United States of America.

I thought about listing David Hawkins and Herbert Simon, given how frequently the Hawkins-Simon condition is cited in expositions of Leontief input-output analysis. I might also mention Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, the creator of the non-substitution theorem. The work of Ladislaus Bortkiewicz, Georg von Charasoff, Vladimir K. Dmitriev, and Robert Remak, as I understand mostly predates Sraffa's long period of preparation of his masterpiece.
