A Comparative Analysis of the Relationship Between Friedrich List and French and Italian Culture
Friedrich List combines different political inspirations, often due to the French and Italian environments. To know the first, this chapter reconstructs the influence List receives during his stays in Paris. These experiences are important in writing his works and lead to identifying a “think tank” from which List takes and gives. Namely, all List’s work takes into account the influence of Jean-Baptiste Say; albeit always criticized, an entire chapter of the Nationale System is devoted to this author. The other French economists that influence his work are Chaptal, Dupin and Ferrier.
Then, after giving space to List’s claims on the Italian economic history, the chapter focuses on the author’s attitude to being received in Italy; a country similar to Germany, from the perspective of that nation’s political and economic fragmentation. In this case, List’s influence appears tempered by various doctrinal and practical elements due to the germanesimo economico
Istruzione, crescita e rendimenti nella teoria del capitale umano. Una prospettiva di storia del pensiero economico.
Le idee del periodo classico, con Smith, e neoclassico, con Marshall, agevolarono l’affermarsi della “rivoluzione” del capitale umano degli anni Sessanta del Novecento. Un vero e proprio problema contabile interno della teoria della crescita, in quel decennio, isolò un residuo di valore che fu interpretato come risultato dell’investimento in capitale umano. La nuova entità contabile fu poi dimostrata nella sua corretta formulazione microeconomica raggiungendo la forma più compiuta nell’opera di Becker. Tuttavia, sin dagli stessi anni in cui il capitale umano veniva (ri)scoperto, si generarono perplessità di carattere metodologico. Esso dava vita a un paradigma strettamente imparentato con altre discipline sociali, tanto che una visione moderna lo ha ricondotto all’interno di un discorso scientifico dell’economia basato su argomentazioni retoriche
The Economics of Education in Italy (1960-1975). An Outlook of Economic Planning
Since 1960, Italian economic planning has been accompanied by studies on the corresponding
development in manpower requirements and the means to satisfying them.
A Svimez work in 1961 was the very first attempt to follow this issue. It certainly suffered
from the absence of preliminary background studies, but equally opened the
way to long-term social-economic forecasting. During the sixties, Svimez and Censis
approached the question of wealth generation from investments in education more
deeply, also contributing to the «Mediterranean Regional Project», the first major
international experience of educational planning. The early utilization of the manpower
forecasting approach directed scholars’ attention toward the economics of education,
persuading some Italian economists to work in this field and to take the role
of investments in human capital into a greater consideration
Gli economisti italiani e il valore economico della vita umana (1893-1908)
The article provides an historiographic interpretation on the debate among Vilfredo Pareto, Alberto Beneduce, Francesco Coletti e Guido Sensini on the "Giornale degli economisti" (1863-1908). The topic of the discussion is the economic value of human life, mainly with reference to nurture costs of a man and human capital evaluation. The research of Ernst Engel influenced the ideas of Italian economists, which display a distinct interest in the productive use of human resources. However, they don’t let foresee the importance that training and education will hold in the theory of economic development in the second half of the 20th century
Economia, diritto e agricoltura: vecchie e nuove prospettive di ricerca su Ghino Valenti
In the literature accumulated after his death, some substantial contributions to Ghino Valenti’s scientific bibliography are still missing. In this paper we attempt to restart a path aimed at stimulating new and broader research on this scholar. The timing of the resumption of studies on Valenti is linked to the hundred years that have passed since his death, which took place in Rome on November 20, 1920. A significant source for Valenti’s thought is the articulated and complex legacy of Romagonosi, his knowledge both unifying and practical. Valenti draws his aptitude for economic and social research, and the close connection of economics with law, from that influence. The impact is, above all, on the economics of agriculture, the economic-agricultural policy and the general policy
