Doing Math in Mussolini’s Pocket : Ernesto Rossi and Fascist Public Finance (1926-1930)
2023
This essay deals with the brief but intense collaboration of Ernesto Rossi with the «Riforma Sociale», a prestigious journal of economics and social sciences founded by Francesco Saverio Nitti in 1894 and directed by Luigi Einaudi since 1908. Between 1926 and 1930, Rossi authored seven long essays on issues of public finance, applied economics, and economic statistics that have been relatively neglected by historiography. The rereading of these contributions allows us to illuminate some central moments in his training as an economist. This essay focuses on four articles he devoted to a deep analysis of the Italian budget and public debt, recalculating public revenues and expenses, with rela…
Value and Accounting between History and Theory: the Italian Case
2008
The paper looks for the philophical and economic roots of accounting conceptions of value, and the following methods of evaluation, through the main accounting 'classical'authors of Italian doctrine. The basic assumption is that 'value' is not only an accounting concept but a multidisciplinary category that, incidentally for other disciplines, is central for accounting itself. The authors focus on the period following the 'precepts' period (late XV - early XIX century) and preceding the 'Zappian Revolution' of 1926 that gave birth to "Economia aziendale". So the Lombard School (Crippa and Villa), the Tuscan one (Cerboni and Rossi), Emanuele Pisani, the Venetian one (Besta, Alfieri and the f…

Iniziative per la diffusione della lingua e della cultura italiana nella Cina pre-1949
2020
Until recently scholars who have examined the diffusion of the Italian language in China have focussed on the People’s Republic of China. However, we have proof of early teaching and cultural activities by Italian schools in China since the late 19th century. Most of them though were run by Catholic missions receiving financial support from the Italian government and initially they did not include language teaching, due to the locals’ lack of interest. The reason for this was to be found in the weak diplomatic, political and economic role played – particularly when compared with other foreign powers. This was clear to Italian diplomats – yet a real breakthrough for the popularization of Ita…
