A chapter in An Institutional History of Italian Economics in the Interwar Period — Volume I, 2019, pp 65-87 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The economists teaching in Italian universities formed influential schools which produced the country’s elites. The relationship between these schools and fascism is varied and complex. Despite some particular features due to fascist legislation, the development of the Italian system of university education did not differ from that of other European countries. The investigation conducted in this chapter on the universities’ transition from the liberal age to the fascist “era” offers a description of the salient episodes marking the relationship between the economists and the regime. The reconstruction of both institutional and theoretical aspects, accompanied by a careful study of the political and social context, forms the basis for a tentative interpretation of the history of Italy between the two world wars.
