Piero Gobetti's Agonistic Liberalism
No full textThis article examines the ‘revolutionary liberal’ outlook expounded by the young Italian journalist
and intellectual, Piero Gobetti, immediately following the First World War. It considers the
historical evolution of his ‘agonistic’ liberalism according to which conflict rather than consensus
serves as the basis of social and political renewal. The article traces the formation of Gobetti’s
thought from his idealist response to the crisis of the liberal state through to his endorsement of the
communist revolutionaries in Turin and his denunciation of fascism as the continuation of Italy’s
failed tradition of compromise. Whilst Gobetti’s views presently resonate with a growing interest in
the agonistic dimension of politics, it is argued that his elitism and his understanding of liberalism as
a ‘civic religion’ reveal challenging tensions in his thought

Ricardo versus Thornton on the appropriate monetary response to supply shocks
No full textDavid Ricardo (1772-1823) recommended countering supply shocks with monetary contraction. Henry Thornton (1760-1815) advised a constant-money response. Their views hinged (1) on the neutrality or non-neutrality of money-stock changes on real output and employment and (2) on the costs of inflation. These same considerations influence Federal Reserve policy in response to oil shocks today.Economists ; Monetary theory

Sraffa’s Ricardo after Fifty Years - A Preliminary Estimate
No full textIt is the purpose of this paper to put Sraffa's Ricardo (Ricardo, 1951-73) in a historical perspective. After almost fifty years this appears to be timely on two grounds. First, as we shall have occasion to recall below, Sraffa had been singularly enshrined and made into a bloodless entity for a considerable time; only today it becomes possible to revive his image in flesh and blood and it seems proper to do so. Second the Sraffa archives at Trinity College have now been made accessible and it is expected that permission can be granted to make use of the extant documents for the purpose.
