The conjoint quest for a liberal positive program: "Old Chicago", Freiburg and Hayek
No full textJames M. Buchanan's latest contribution to the post-crisis debate in political economy underpins the necessity to reexamine the legacy of the Old Chicago School of thought, being urged by Buchanan's recently stressed plea at the 2009 Regional Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society and at the Summer Institute for the Preservation of the History of Economic Thought in 2010. The focus of the current paper is to follow his plea by exploring the central topoi of the 1930's debate of the Chicago School as seen from the work of Henry Simons and discuss its impact on the academic arena on both sides of the Atlantic thereafter. With respect to this impact, we highlight Friedrich A. von Hayek as the focal scholar who possibly transmits these topoi that later influenced the rise of Freiburgean ordoliberalism in Germany from the mid-1930's onwards as youngest archival findings suggest. By revisiting the MPS 1947 first meeting's minutes and papers, we stress the proximity in mind of Old Chicago, Hayek and the Freiburg School ordo-liberals by contributing an explanation for the surprisingly homogenous direction of these yet unconnected schools of thought. n a next, enhanced version of this project, we will subsequently re-discuss the intellectual origins of Constitutional Political Economy's research program. Following Viktor Vanberg, we argue that CPE can be interpreted as a modernized perspective on economics that carries forward three strands of transatlantic liberal programs, being precisely Old Chicago, Freiburg and Hayek. --

Walter Kaufmann: Philosopher, Humanist, Heretic by Stanley Corngold
No full textThis paper is a review of the book: Stanley Corngold, Walter Kaufmann: Philosopher, Humanist, Heretic (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2018). The author concludes that Corngold’s book acquaints the reader not only with the thought of Walter Kaufmann, but also with the thought of a prominent, late twentieth century generation that in effect rejected the source of the very culture that nourished it
Mathematical models and methods for Electromagnetism on fractal geometries
No full textThis work summarizes the research path done by Walter Arrighetti during his three years of Doctorate of Research in Electromagnetism at Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza,” Rome, under the guidance of Professor Giorgio Gerosa. This work was mainly motivated by the struggle to find simpler and simpler models to introduce complex geometries (like fractal ones, for example, which are complicated but far from being ‘irregular’) in physical field theories like the Classical Electrodynamics, and which stand at the base of most contemporary applied research activities: from antennas (of any sizes, bandwidths and operational distances) to waveguides & resonators (for devices ranging from IC motherboards , to high-speed fibre channel links), to magnetic resonance (RMI) devices (for both diagnostic and research purposes), all the way up to particle accelerators. All of these models need not only a solid physical base, but also a specifically crafted ensemble of mathematical methods, in order to tackle with problems which “standard-geometry” models (both in the continuum and the discrete cases) are not best-suited for. During his previous years of study towards the Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering, the author used different approaches toward Fractal Electrodynamics, form purely-analytical, to computer-assisted numerical simulations of applied electromagnetic structures (both radiating and wave-guiding), down to algebraic-topological ones. The latter approaches, more often than not, proved to be the best way to start with, because the author found out that self-similarity (a property which many complicated geometries —even non-fractal ones— seem to, at least, tend to possess) can be easily interpreted as a topological symmetry, wonderfully described using “ad hoc” nontrivial algebraic languages. Whatever can be successfully described in the language of Algebra (either via numbers, symmetry groups, graphs, polynomials, etc.) is then always simplified (or “quotiented” — so to speak in a more strict mathematical language) and, when numerical computation takes the way towards the solution of a specific applied problem, those simplifications turn in handy to reduce the complexity of it. For example, the strict self-similarity possessed by some fractals (like those generated via an Iterated Function System — or IFS) allows to numerically store the geometrical data for a fractal object in a sequence of simpler and simpler data which are, for example, instantly recovered by a computer starting from the simplest data (like simplices, squares/cubes, circles/spheres and regular polygons/polytopes). For the same reason, all the physical properties that depend on the geometry (or the topology — i.e. basically the number of “holes” or inner connections) of the domain can be reduced, estimated or be even completely known a priori, even before a numerical simulation is performed. In this work, several of these methods (coming from apparently different branches of pure and applied Mathematics) are presented and finally joined with Electromagnetism equations to solve some more or less applied problems. Since many of the mathematical tools used to build the studied models and methods are advanced and generally not sufficiently known to experts in either such different fields, the first two Chapters are devoted to a brief introduction of some purely mathematical topics. In that context, the author found that the best way to accomplish this was to re-write all those different results from different branches of both pure and applied Mathematics in a formalism as more solid and unified as possible, with continuous links back and forth to different topics (and to the next more applied Chapters). That approach is seldom found in most graduate-level texts. For example, very similar mathematical objects may be even called or classified in different ways, according to the different mathematical contexts they are introduced in, which is exactly the opposite philosophy which has guided underneath in writing these first Chapters. On the other end, simpler and more trivial mathematical definitions, formalisms or electromagnetic problems, when not elsewhere referenced to, can be found in [9], Arrighetti W., Analisi di Strutture Elettromagnetiche Frattali, the author’s Laurea degree dissertation (currently only in Italian language). The most original part of the work is in the last three Chapters where —always using the same “language” and helping with cross-links, as well as to the Bibliography— methods are introduced and then applied to model some electromagnetic problems (previously either unsolved — or already-known, but here solved with a different, usually simpler, or at least more elegant approach)
