A chapter in An Institutional History of Italian Economics in the Interwar Period — Volume I, 2019, pp 143-169 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the early twentieth century, “generalist” journals—which had their peak of popularity in the previous century—continued to accommodate the contributions of economists, making a specific room for economic debate. However, with the affirmation of the fascist ideology, generalist periodicals progressively ceased to exist or to host economists’ articles. This chapter discusses the interplay between generalism and specialisation and identifies the events which produced the decaying of generalist journalism in the interwar period. After examining the main journals of this category, and the impact of the fascist regime on their vicissitudes, it focuses on the two most representative generalist journals of the time—Nuova Antologia and Echi e Commenti—showing how survival to fascist censorship implied their transformation into compliant means of regime propaganda.
