Abstract: Abstract In Forging a new alliance between economics and engineering, Sergio Mariotti explores the relationship between economics and engineering. The interactions between economics and engineering is a question rather than trivial and Mariotti faces the problem, firstly, from an historical perspective and, secondly, by identifying the paradigms for the economics–engineering nexus. Three paradigms are proposed, i.e., economics for engineering, economics and engineering, economics as engineering. They offer the opportunity to open new vistas on the future of the relationships between economics and engineering, in particular for facing the complexity of the economy.
