La ricostruzione dell’Europa all’indomani della Prima Guerra Mondiale: l’analisi di Einaudi e di Cabiati sui quotidiani (Rebuilding Europe in the aftermath of the first world war: the contributions of Einaudi and Cabiati)

After the end of World War i, Einaudi and Cabiati wrote many articles on two main Italian newspapers, «Corriere della Sera» and «La Stampa», with the same aim: suggesting solutions to the most urgent problems, starting from reparations and inter-allied debts. They agreed that it was absolutely necessary to avoid the growth of nationalist frustrations, which had been the main cause of the war. From this point of view one can easily understand their full support to the views Keynes expressed in the first half of the 1920s. Equally, their identical economic orthodoxy explains why they disagreed with Keyness iconoclastic opinions about gold standard and economic policy in the second half of the same decade
