Abstract: In the inheritance tax debates of the 1920s the proposals formulated by theItalian philosopher Eugenio Rignano occupied a prominent position. Since then, his contribution has been largely, although not completely, forgotten. This paper reviews the Rignano’s ideas by focusing upon its origins and upon the reactions to Rignano’s proposal in the 1920s, both in Italy and elsewhere.
