Il Pensiero Economico Italiano, 2008, vol. 16, issue 1, 89-103 Abstract: While, between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, almost every Italian economists were staunch free traders, Benini was the main supporter for protectionist policies in order to foster Italian industrial development.

In the thirties, when for economic and political reasons Italy adopted a strong protectionist policy, Benini warned about the risks resulting from a policy aimed at excluding Italy from international trade Keywords: Rodolfo Benini; teoria del commercio internazionale; protezionismo; costi comparati; gold standard (Rodolfo Benini; international trade theory; protectionism; comparative costs; gold standard) (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:pei:journl:v:16:y:2008:1:6:p:89-103 Access Statistics for this article Il Pensiero Economico Italiano is currently edited by Massimo Augello and Marco E.
