Abstract: According to most scholars, the Galiani of Della Moneta and the Galiani of Dialogues sur le commerce des bleds present a considerable contrast: whereas the former was a great example of preclassic political economy, the latter regressed to mercantilist positions. However, does a “Galiani Problem” really exist? The purpose of the present paper is to raise doubts about this interpretation and to demonstrate that both the above-mentioned writings share the very same theory of economic policy: when the safety of the State is threatened by exceptional events, the policy maker has to try to rule economy by applying special measures.
