Here Modigliani discusses at length a first draft of Sylos Labini&rsquo;s book on oligopoly theory. Differently from Modigliani&rsquo;s well known 1958 review of the book, Modigliani focuses here not mainly on the structure of oligopoly industries, but especially on the macroeconomic implications of Sylos Labini&rsquo;s model. The letter is reproduced with Sylos Labini&rsquo;s annotated comments on Modigliani&rsquo;s remarks.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Macroeconomic theory, Oligopoly, Neoclassical synthesis, Modigliani, Sylos Labini</p> <p><strong>JEL codes</strong>: B31, D43, E13</p> ER -
