Pietro Verri’s Contribution to the Economic Theory of the 18th Century: Commercial Society, Civil Society and Governance of the Economy
No full text'Count Pietro Verri (1728-97) - Schumpeter writes (History, p. 178) - - would have to be included in any list of the greatest economists'. Within the Milanese school, he certainly stands out, alongside with Cesare Beccaria, during one of the most interesting periods from a history of analysis point of view. Luigi Cossa's famous introduction to the study of political economy rates Pietro Verri to be inferior to Beccaria in ingenuity and scientific cultivation, but greatly to be ahead of him as an economist.1 This judgement by Cossa, in particular, seems to echo the relative position of the two men in the history of ideas, particularly after Beccaria's rise to fame with a book - On crimes and punishments - which had in fact been largely inspired by Verri himself and defended by him.2 It is proposed in the present paper to revisit some of the basic tenets of Pietro Verri's political economy, with more in view than dwell on specific intuitions and theorems: namely relate those to Verri's own - quite original - conception of the economy. The scholarly work of Pietro Verri - with a special reference to his Meditazioni sulla economia politica of 1771 - provides the first systematic contribution stemming from the quarters of Lombard enlightenment in the field of political economy, especially so if one considers that Cesare Beccaria's parallel work - namely his Elementi di economia pubblica, conceived and drafted at the same time as Verri's Meditazioni - would only be published posthumously several years later. From the vantage point afforded by Verri's political economy, we gain a considerably attractive view of the most significant elements and characteristic concepts of Lombard enlightenment during the latter half of the 18th century; Verri, moreover, as we shall see, builds on a number of them in a new and original way. This paper is aimed at discussing Verri's political economy mainly along two distinct, but related, lines. In the first place the conception of commercial society is considered such as it is treated by the author particularly in his Meditazioni. In this perspective the analysis of such issues as competition and the market or money and taxation occupy a central place. Secondly it will be necessary to emphasise that Verri's approach has little to do either with forms of pure economics on one side - largely yet to be born throughout the 18th century - or, on the other side, with such conceptions of the polis - contrariwise well alive among his own contemporaries - as are founded on a sovereign authority conceived to be situated above the law. What Verri's political economy ultimately amounts to is an economic conception of civil society. The latter has natural strong connections with his own fact-mindedness - emphasised by Schumpeter - as well as with his deep practical involvement in administrative affairs and in the reforming process taking place during the latter half of the 18th century in Milan. In our view, a thorough investigation along the mentioned lines is the precondition for an understanding of the intellectual stature and of the scholarly contribution of Pietro Verri. His main ground is distinctly analytical and only by appreciating his analysis is it possible to shed light on the meaning and intellectual significance also of his practical contributions. Moreover Verri's pronouncements on the criticism of despotic government, the relevance of intermediate powers or bodies and on multiple levels of governance will be examined in a new and original light, showing how close they are to the gist of his analysis.

About twin primes and distribution of primes
No full textThis paper give us a demonstration of twin primes conjecture using approximation of function �(iupsilon) that we introduce in section 6. Section 1-5 give us introduction to terminology and a clarification on (iupsilon) terms. In particular section
5 is really important because of its Lemma. Section 7 reassume foregoing explanations and it give us two theorems and one corollary;the theorem 7.2 give us exact approximation of twin primes counting function

Shell concentrations as tools in characterizing sedimentary dynamics at sequence-bounding unconformities: examples from the lower unit of the Canoa Formation (Late Pliocene, Ecuador)
No full textThe Canoa Basin in Manabì, Ecuador, contains a mainly marine, clastic sedimentary succession of Late Pliocene and Pleistocene age (Canoa Formation and Tablazo Formation). A stratigraphic and sedimentologic study of the entire sedimentary succession indicated that sedimentary facies recur in consistent deepening-shallowing transgressive-regressive patterns and that on this basis it can be divided into three different informal units (Clow, Cupp, Tb). The lowest of these units (Clow) is composed by at least four depositional sequences, each bounded by a ravinement surface and containing a basal environmentally time-averaged shell bed accumulated during rapid sea-level rise under conditions of reduced terrigenous sediment supply (transgressive systems tract). Owing to intense heavy bioturbation, the internal architecture of these shell beds is not recognizable. Each of these shell beds is mantled by poorly fossiliferous sandy and silty shales accumulated during subsequent progradation (highstand and regressive systems tracts). Fossil assemblages, accounting for inner/middle shelf settings, are dominated by infaunal suspension-feeding bivalves (Linga cancellaris, Chione mariae, etc.) most of which require sandy substrate or are ubiquitous. In terms of trophic/life habit groups, the total succession shows an increase of infaunal suspension-feeder species richness from the lowest (C1) to the upper (C4) shell bed, whereas epifaunal taxa decrease in richness. Shell packing density also decreases from C1 to C4. The reconstruction of the short-term sedimentary dynamics based on taphonomic and palaeoecologic observations indicates a slightly progradational staking pattern of depositional sequences, representing high-frequency sixth-order eustatic sea-level fluctuations within a third-order tectonically-induced cycle
La teoria monetaria dell’Illuminismo lombardo
No full textThe authors wish to emphasize the importance of the history of ideas and of the history of facts in view of theory formulation and policy proposal within a framework of political economy. Theory must serve, together with history, to the governance of institutions aimed at the orderly working of economies and markets. The relationship. between economics and administration is at the root of the Milanese discussions on monetary policy that took place in the 1760s, and to which both Cesare Beccaria and Pietro Verri contributed
