The volume collects nine essays on Italian politics, economics, and law during Fascism. Some are dedicated to the ideal objectives of corporatism, aiming at the renewal of politics, institutions and culture, and the objectively dismal results of the implemented policies. Economic researches analyze the debated abolishment of the inheritance tax in the 1923, and the various policies proposed by some Italian economists to counter the disastrous effects of the Great Depression. Specific attention is also given to the problem of the development of Italy’s southern regions. An essay is further dedicated to the influence of corporatism and idealism on the mathematical economist Bruno de Finetti. In the field of law, authors investigate the long lasting features impressed by Fascism on Italian administrative law and, in general, the permanence of a typically Fascist magniloquent style in the Italian jurisdictional language. Lastly, as suggested by title of this volume, a chapter analyses the social and political thinking of Carlo Rosselli, leading anti-fascist intellectual who paid dearly for his dissent.

Hi Paco, I am working on this topic: Should We Write a History of European Economic Thought?

Antonio Magliulo

Europe is nowadays a privileged field of research for many scholars. Economists, jurists, philosophers are looking for a way to escape from the great crisis completing the construction of the Europ ean Union. At the heart of the crisis we meet the issue of the European demos: is it a myth or a historical reality? In fact, if we believe that there isn’t yet and will never be a European demos then it is impossible to complete the secular European construction. This issue involves and divides many historians. According to some scholars, we should avoid to fall into cultural and historical fallacies: “who we have been as Europeans is not as crucial as answering the question of who we want to be”. They argue that we should be free to choose the Europe we want. Others believe that history matters anyways: “who we have been is something that simply cannot be ignored”. But, according to someone, past shows that Europe has been a ground of wars and divisions and each country should be now free to maintain its own identity and sovereignty. Others, on the contrary, believe that “what unites us is stronger than what divides us” so that nations should build a European Union. The aim of this paper is to assess if the history of economic thought can give a contribution to the European history or, in other words, if we can and we should write a history of European economic thought. So far, the history of economic thought has been both a spaceless story and a national story. It has been, on one hand, the tale of the great theoretical achievements mainly due to Western thinkers and, on the other hand, the tale of several, different, national traditions of economic thought. Of course, we know a lot about economics in Europe but we are still missing a history of European economic thought. The paper is structured as follows. In the first paragraph, I summarize the debate on the European identity and the role of history. In the second one, I explore some methodological issues concerning a history of European economic thought. In the last one, I outline a case study analyzing the influence of the classical economics in shaping a Europe of Liberal Nation States during the XIX century. ... [more]

Towards a History of European Economic Thought: an Introductory Note

June 2019 · HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT AND POLICY

Antonio Magliulo

Europe, as a transnational community, is the subject of several disciplines, including historical ones. There are valuable economic, political and social histories of Europe. But we still lack a History of European Economic Thought. Why? Why should the history of economic thought, which is part of historiography, be unable to provide a specific contribution? This note aims to show a) how ... [Show full abstract] historians of economic thought have looked at Europe thus far; b) why we need a new look at Europe; and c) what is the contribution given by this special issue to the history of European economic thought.
