Colonies
2015
The entry discusses David Ricardo's three main analytical arguments related to the colonial issue: i) colonies as a source of new fertile land and therefore as a viable solution to the problem of decreasing returns on domestic land; ii) colonies as possible outlet markets able to absorb domestic excess supply; and, finally, iii) the effects of trade restrictions between a colony and its mother country.

Nota a Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo 22 giugno 2021, Erkizia Almandoz c. Spagna, in tema di apologia del terrorismo e libertà di espressione.
2022
La sentenza in epigrafe si segnala all'attenzione perché con essa la Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo torna a pronunciarsi sul delicato bilanciamento tra esigenze di sicurezza e libertà di espressione con particolare riferimento al c.d. «hate speech» terroristico. Nel caso di specie, il ricorrente, uomo politico di riferimento di una delle correnti indipendentiste dei Paesi Baschi (denominata «Izquierda Abertzale»), era stato ritenuto colpevole in via definitiva del delitto di apologia previsto e punito dall'art. 578 c.p. spagnolo. I giudici di Strasburgo ritengono incompatibile con l'art. 10 Cedu l'irrogazione della sanzione detentiva, non essendo il ricorrente organizzatore o promotore…
Antonio Di Grado, Divergenze. Borgese, Malaparte, Morselli, Sciascia.
2014
E' al cuore pulsante di una «letteratura come ermeneutica della moralità e del dubbio», esercizio del «libero pensiero», dell’«analisi critica e della demistificazione» che convergono, da percorsi diversi, le voci narrative di Giuseppe Antonio Borgese, Curzio Malaparte, Guido Morselli, Leonardo Sciascia, e che la scrittura di Antonio Di Grado «asseconda», disegnandone contraddizioni, ambivalenze, accensioni e cadute.È una realtà personale, sociale, politica, storica che la penna degli scrittori, ritratti con appassionata lucidità da Di Grado, incide come una lama solcandone le asperità, il disincanto, le mistificazioni, oltre le spoglie «magnifiche e progressive» delle retoriche ufficiali, …
“A certain amount of ‘recantation’”: On the origins of Frank H. Knight’s antipositivism
2016
The aim of this paper is to investigate in some detail the origins of Knight’s antipositism and to assess the main influences that brought him to a change in methodological perspective after 1921. As importantly, what follows is also an attempt to increase our general understanding of the methodological debates taking place during the early decades of the last century and to shed new light on the inherently pluralistic character of US interwar economics. This paper is organized as follows: the first section outlines Knight’s methodological views as presented in his early works; the second section discusses Knight’s “recantation” and his attack on behavioristic social science; the third sect…
Jacob Viner and the Chicago monetary tradition
2009
The paper aims at assessing Jacob Viner's role in that brand of monetary thought which historians associate with the Chicago School and whose origins can be retraced in the writings and teaching of Frank Knight, Lloyd Mints, Henry Simons and Viner himself. After a brief description of the prolonged debate over the origins and nature of the so called “Chicago Monetary Tradition”, we examine Viner's analyses and policy proposals drawing particular attention to: his analysis of the Great depression; his proposals for monetary expansion and banking reform; his shift of emphasis in favour of Fiscal Policy; the evolution of its monetary framework in the early 1930's. Finally, we compare his posit…
Albert O. Hirschman, Europe, and the Postwar Economic Order, 1946–52
2022
Abstract Between 1946 and 1952, Albert Hirschman worked as an economist in charge of the Western European desk of the research branch of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, DC. In this position he wrote extensively on patterns of European postwar reconstruction and the creation of a new world economic order. Given his deep knowledge and prewar experiences, Italy and France were his first areas of specialization, although Hirschman soon contributed to the analysis of the Marshall Plan, the shaping of the European Payments Union, and the problem of the dollar shortage. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of this early stage of Hirschman's intel…
Sidney Armor Reeve: Engineer, Inventor, Progressive, and Underappreciated Utopian
2022
Sidney Armor Reeve, professional engineer and amateur historian, economist, and sociologist, writing during what has been described as the Progressive Era, at-tacked the very foundations of the existing economic and social orders. He explic-itly criticized the dominant commercialism of the capitalist society as being a can-cer, a major cause of inequality and unemployment, offering instead a program of reform that, while some reviewers characterized it as consistent with the program of the socialists, presented something of an alternative vision, one recognizing the primacy of the Ultimate Consumer. His remedy, favoring as it did the central con-trol of the economy, shared at least commonal…
Beyond Legal Relations: Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld's Influence on American Institutionalism
2011
This paper documents Hohfeld’s influence on interwar American institutionalism. We will mainly focus on three leading figures of the movement: John Rogers Commons, Robert Lee Hale, and John Maurice Clark. They regarded Hohfeld’s contribution on jural relations as a preliminary step toward the understanding of the adversarial nature of legal rights. Albeit with substantial differences in style, method and emphasis, Hohfeld’s schema provided a powerful analytical and rhetorical tool for their analysis This paper documents Hohfeld's influence on interwar American institutionalism. We will mainly focus on three leading figures of the movement: John Rogers Commons, Robert Lee Hale, and John Maur…
