In particular, the volume presents a selection of some of the most significant contributions from the annual conferences organized (since 2009) by Istituto Centrale delle Banche Popolari Italiane (ICBPI) ± whose President (G. De Censi) wrote the preface ± and the Italian Association of Mutual Banks (ANBP). 7KHILUVWSDUWRIWKHERRNLVGHYRWHGWRWKH³JHQHUDOSULQFLSOHV´WKDW characterize mutual banks. The essays of leading scholars outline the principles underlying the functioning of mutual banks by identifying the fundamental paradigms of subsidiarity and solidarity for development (A. Quadrio Curzio, also editor of the volume); by highlighting the importance of the co-operative identity (S. Zamagni) and the virtuous features that allow Italian banks to face the current economic and financial crisis (G. Ferri). The significant contribution of the Director General of the Bank of Italy (F. Saccomanni) on the challenges for banks in the new regulatory scenario concludes this part.

  • Economic Theory and Its History
    Economic Theory and its History This collection brings together leading economists from around the world to explore key issues in economic analysis and the history of economic thought. This book deals with important themes in economics in terms of an approach that has its roots in the works of the classical economists from Adam Smith to David Ricardo. The chapters have been inspired by the work of Neri Salvadori, who has made key contributions in various areas including the theory of production, the theory of value and distribution, the theory of economic growth, as well as the theory of renewable and exhaustible natural resources. The main themes in this book include production, value and distribution; endogenous economic growth; renewable and exhaustible natural resources; cap- ital and profits; oligopolistic competition; effective demand and capacity utiliza- tion; financial regulation; and themes in the history of economic analysis. Several of the contributions are closely related to the works of Neri Salvadori. This is demonstrated with respect to important contemporary topics including the sources of economic growth, the role of exhaustible resources in economic development, the reduction and disposal of waste, the redistribution of income and wealth, and the regulation of an inherently unstable financial sector. All contributions are brand new, original and concise, written by leading expo- nents in their field of expertise. Together this volume represents an invaluable contribution to economic analysis and the history of economic thought. This book is suitable for those who study economic theory and its history, political economy and philosophy. Giuseppe Freni is Professor of Economics at the University of Naples Parthenope, Italy.

  • Excerpt of the Book
    Techno-scientific platforms are a mode of interaction between different EURO-PLATFORMS: actors within a common scientific area and with shared technological SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMY interests related to the economy and society. Grouping together these A crucial connection for Italy relations, not always formally or institutionally, has generated a «system» of cases that are difficult to put within a framework, but are of growing importance and require an analysis of the connections between political edited by economy and techno-science in consolidating profiles and perspectives Alberto Quadrio Curzio for the future of Europe. If we take CERN as an example, its techno- Marco Fortis and Alberto Silvani logical infrastructure, its governance and the support of its multi-stat- utory scientific community, we find an evident need for clarifying what economic-organizational model should be implemented to provide the project paradigms. The same holds true for the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the European Space Agency and for lesser known, but no less important entities like the hub for data science and artificial intelligence. «Horizon Europe», the new framework programme of the European Commission and European Parliament, provides a perspective which is crucial in defining new initiatives. Alberto Quadrio Curzio is Professor Emeritus of Political Economy at Università Cattolica, President Emeritus of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and Chairman of the Scientific Committee at Fondazione Edison. Marco Fortis teaches Industrial Economics and Foreign Trade at Università Cattolica. He is Vice Chairman and Director at Fondazione Edison where he is also Vice Chairman of the Scientific Committee. Alberto Silvani was the Research Director of CNR on the themes of research evaluation and technology transfer, and an Expert for the Eu- ropean Commission.
