Radici concettuali di un’aporetica “sovranità dell’economico” nell’Europa contemporanea. Ordoliberalismo come “luogo comune”
The essay analyzes some of the key issues regarding the political variations of neoliberal economic discourse in contemporary Europe. In particular, the author discusses the relationship between the evanescence of the sovereignty of the nation-state and the rebirth of the «economic nation» as a result of a claimed economic sovereignty. A process that is certainly supported by the political absence of the EU, but which lacks theoretical foundations and concrete perspectives. The author therefore considers it necessary to grasp, beyond the German roots of European Ordoliberalism, the presuppositions of what he defines as today’s hybrid European politics, in which transnational governance processes can be understood as a sort of global administrative space
Pratica degli affari e prescrizioni morali: interesse e sconto nei manuali di aritmetica mercantile (secoli XVI-XVIII)
Catholic Church’s usury restrictions and their effects on business life have long attracted scholars’ attention. Several essays reconstruct the evolution of usury doctrine and its relations with the diffusion of new contracts and financial techniques to enable the payment of interest. This paper aims to investigate the real influence of the Church’s precepts on financial transactions starting from a different observation point. The most important sources used in this work are commercial arithmetic textbooks printed in Italy from the beginning of the 16th century to the end of the 18th century and specifically devoted to businessmen. Although quite limited from a theoretical point of view, these books reflect coeval business practices. In particular, they contain several examples illustrating calculation techniques, including problems concerning interest and discount. Many authors try to give suggestions to their readers, as well as some ethical and moral advice, showing whether, in their opinion, a specific financial practice was licit or not. Therefore, these textbooks represent a useful source to shed light upon the influence of the Church’s usury precepts on the business world in the early modern age
