Title: A Great Success Story: Galiani?s Dialogues sur le commerce des bl?s in Spain (1774-1802)
Abstract: The year 1775 witnessed the publication of the Spanish translation of Ferdi-nando Galiani?s Dialogues sur le commerce des bl?s (1770). Although there is evi-dence that the book was very successful during the Spanish Enlightenment, the purpose of this work is to analyse in detail the impact of Galiani?s Dialogues on late eighteenth century Spanish literature, using citation count methodology. The work concludes that Galiani?s book was a decisive work in the shaping of econom-ic culture in Spain during the Spanish Enlightenment. Not only it was profusely quoted, but all its main economic theses were well received among the Spanish po-litical economists. Beyond the strategic debate on the grain trade, the book deci-sively contributed to outline central questions of the mainstream of the Spanish Enlightenment, such as those related to economic methodology and growth strate-gy. All this confirms that the Dialogues triumphed in Spain due to their powerful power of influence in the arena of economic policy.

Title: The decades of silence Antonio de Viti de Marco from 1923 to 1943
Abstract: This article concentrates on the final twenty years of Antonio de Viti de Marco?s life, the years of the fascist dictatorship, in order to fill a gap in the knowledge of his activity and motivations. It brings together the limited infor-mation available, tracking down elements that explain his decision to withdraw into isolation. The article considers the main aspects marking this period of his life, namely: the antifascist who rarely had a chance to show himself; the economist, whose scientific work makes up the best-known part of his biography of this peri-od; the agriculturalist, whose role is linked to his anti-protectionist battle; and lastly the private man, who during these years went through a profound ordeal. The re-search explains the reasons for his long silence by revealing that there was not a single aspect in which De Viti was spared during the twenty years of fascism, nei-ther political, nor scientific, nor in economic policy, and not even in the private sphere

Title: Econometric modelling in Italy: From economic planning to academic research
Abstract: The paper deals with the introduction and acceptance of econometric model-ling as a tool to conduct economic policy analysis in Italy in the Post War. A re-search practice first applied in public and private institutions other than universi-ties. It is argued that economic planning and policymakers? needs of empirical es-timations, simulations and forecasts played an important role in supporting quan-titative research, at the time when economics was still conceived as a theoretical discipline. Sylos Labini?s (1967) econometric model, the Modellaccio (1970-75), the University of Bologna model (1976) were the first examples of econometric modelling activities within academia. Only since the late 1980s, also due to a gen-erational change, econometrics is fully accepted and introduced in economics cur-ricula with the discipline that aligned to international standards.

Title: Robert Torrens on Say?s Law and the General Glut
Abstract: This paper analyzes how Robert Torrens?s system of prices is applied to the aggregate economy. His personal interpretation of Say?s Law is articulated with a numerical illustration and the Hawkins-Simon conditions to exemplify how the correct supply of the ingredients of capital is presented as a necessary condition for the full clearing of markets. Next, the possible causes of a shortage in effectual demand are discussed. The quantitative illustrations developed by Torrens are carefully reviewed to show how the monetary factors play a crucial role during the general glut, as well as the appropriate policy measures to stabilise the economy. The final comments reflect on the originality of Torrens?s theoretical work.

Title: Inflation and Macroeconomics in the US during the Golden Age
Abstract: This paper reviews interpretations of the moderate inflation observed in the US during the 1950s and early 1960s. In this period, moderate and persistent inflation disconcerted economists and challenged policymakers. The opposition between demand-pull and cost-push views stimulated different interpretations, as sectorial demand-shift inflation theory and the modified Phillips curve. As policy targeted growth and employment, incomes policy was applied to contain inflation. The pa-per provides an overview of explanations to the moderate inflationary process in light of the historical events of the Golden Age of capitalism.

Title: The modern Italian debate on the Walrasian theory of capitalization (1960-1971)
Abstract: Historians have studied the intellectual relationships between Walrasian eco-nomic thought and the Italian tradition with a primary focus on nineteenth-century economic thought. Nevertheless, in the 1960s heated controversy over Walras?s capitalization theory, prompted by Sraffa (1960) and, even more, by Garegnani (1960), developed in Italy. This paper aims to reconstruct that debate to illustrate that, even during such a period of critical reappraisal, a number of Ital-ian economists held a fundamentally sceptical attitude towards a criticism of Walras?s scheme.
