It argues that Maffeo Pantaleoni was the first scholar to address the topic: the monopolist has the possibility and convenience to sell the whole stock of durable goods he owns by applying a policy of price discrimination. It is worth noticing that Coase, similarly to Pantaleoni, recognises that the monopoly of durable goods sells the entire stock he owns. Nevertheless, on the other hand, he also denies that price discrimination can be pursued. As argued by this paper, Coase?s argument suffers of important flaws and, from certain points of view, is also contradictory. Moreover, in spite of the good it contains, his argument came after many decades since Pantaleoni understood the specificity of the question, addressed it convincingly, and wrote on it.

Keynes alle traduzioni della sua teoria generale: estemporanee annotazioni Abstract: The forewords by Keynes to the German, Japanese and French edition of the General Theory are in this paper under examination in order to consider, once again, some disputed topics, especially the real meaning that have to be attached to the adjective "general" which stands out on the book cover of his work and the reliability of the presumed support to totalitarian regimes that some of his statements would disclose, together with accusations of sympathies for, or indifference to, Nazi regime.

This effect was due to the inability of national governments and Parliaments to counteract the consequences of the reces sion. The lack of trust in institutions involves costs that cannot be underestimated. Therefore, for this reason, it is very important to study the relationship between changes in macroeconomic conditions and changes in the level of citizens?appreciation in national institutions. The aim of the paper is to analyse as changes in macroeconomic conditions (in particular, changes in inflation, unemployment and income inequality) have affected the level of citizens?trust in national institutions of European countries in the period 2001-20013. Using panel data method, empirical results show that the increases in unemployment and income inequality contribute to reduce the level of trust in national institutions while, as regards inflation, the results are ambiguous.

The close relationship between Filangieri and Benjamin Franklin also influenced the elaboraion of the American Constitution. Filangieri?s approach to the poltical economy was completely at odds with Adam Smith consideration of self love and self interest as positive values. The essay points out the most valuable charcteristics of Filangieri?s analysis. It concludes proposing a parallelism between Filangieri?s abstract elaboration and the tragic turn that brought Robespierre, in the name of these principles, to theorize the "Terror" during the French Revolution.
