Il pensiero economico italiano. XVI. 2008. 1

After Quaderni di storia dell'economia politica, now in a new series as History of Economic Ideas, a group of experts who are particularly interested in analysing the characteristics and development of economics in Italy have launched a new journal: Il pensiero economico italiano. This journal is aimed at creating a meeting point of debate between historians and economists who wish to further their studies on the Italian tradition of economic thought, and on a broader spectrum, on the relationship between the history of ideas and analysis, and the history of economic events in Italy. In addition, the journal hopes to promote exchange between various European research groups who are involved in studying national "styles" of political economy. Il pensiero economico italiano will appeal to researchers in all fields of human and social sciences, as it covers a wide span of topics related to the history of economics and the history of political and social ideas, with ample space devoted to reviews and notes.
