Pietro Verri’s Contribution to the Economic Theory of the 18th Century: Commercial Society, Civil Society and Governance of the Economy
Get PDF'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.
Distorsione di caviglia: dalla prevenzione al trattamento
No full textLa distorsione di caviglia è tra le più comuni cause di ac- cesso al pronto soccorso. Tal evento può causare importante disabilità e lunghe assenze dal lavoro e da attività sportive. Lesioni in inversione coinvolgono circa il 25% di tutte le lesioni del sistema muscolo-scheletrico e il 50% di tutte le lesioni corre- late allo sport. La prevenzione rappresenta un importantissimo mezzo nella riduzione di tale casistica, essa mira a identificare i gruppi a rischio e applicando misure come lo stretching e tutori che riducono l’incidenza di un primo evento o la ricorrenza di un secondo evento di distorsione. La maggior parte delle lesioni sono trattati incruentemente, solo lesioni di alto grado in pa- zienti con alte richieste funzionali vengono indirizzate verso un trattamento chirurgico.The ankle sprain is the most common cause of access to the emergency room. This event can cause major disability and long absences from work and sports activities Inversion injuries about the ankle involve about 25% of all injuries of the musculoskeletal system and 50% of all sports-related injuries. Prevention is an im- portant tool in the reduction of this series, it aims to identify groups at risk and applying measures such as stretching and guardians that reduce the incidence of a first event or the occurrence of a second event of distortion. The majority of the lesions are treated non-operatively, only high-grade lesions in patients with high func- tional demands are directed towards a surgical treatment

ORTHOPAEDIC MANAGEMENT IN CEREBRAL PALSY: 25 YEARS OF ROMAN SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
No full textCerebral palsy (CP) is a pathology characterized by a non progres- sive lesion of the central nervous system during its development, which is followed by peripheral manifestation that worsen with time. The roman school of orthopaedic, since its origins, has focal- ized on paediatric pathologies; in 1984, from the daily collabora- tion of one of its members, Luigi Romanini, and the neurologist Giorgio Sabbadini, the monograph “Indication for cerebral palsy orthopaedic surgery” was born, expression of a new approach to CP. The collaboration between rehabilitators and orthopaedic was highlighted: surgery is just part of a more complex management and it is necessary only if conservative treatment is not sufficient to obtain improvement or to maintain previous achievements. Surgery becomes then function-oriented, preceding in proximo-distal direc- tion and on multiple levels. Furthermore, a classification of the lower limb spastic form based on two varieties split in phases was introduced: this is the basis for guidelines in order to uniform sur- gical treatments, at today, still a problem for those who approach CP. At last, the outcome of these 25 years of experience in orthopaedic CP management is analyzed
