Politics and Economics in the Thought of Luigi Einaudi
ABSTRACT
This conference focused on the political and economic thought of Luigi Einaudi (1874–1961), one of Italy’s most prominent liberal voices in the twentieth century. The colloquium’s timing corresponded with the fiftieth anniversary of Einaudi’s death, but given his writings’ concern with political and economic liberalism, challenges to liberal ideas, and the possibility of European union, Einaudi’s work remains relevant today.
