Abstract

Con questo saggio si intende ricostruire la breve ma intensa fase di collaborazione di Ernesto Rossi con La Riforma Sociale, prestigiosa rivista di economia e scienze sociali fondata da Francesco Saverio Nitti nel 1894 e diretta da Luigi Einaudi dal 1908. Fra il 1926 e il 1930 Rossi e' autore di sette lunghi saggi su tematiche di finanza pubblica, economia applicata e statistica economica che sono stati relativamente trascurati dalla storiografia. La rilettura di questi contributi consente di approfondire alcuni momenti centrali nella sua formazione di economista. In particolare: l'influenza di Einaudi e di De Viti de Marco; la predilezione per un approccio empirico all'analisi economica; la critica precoce nei confronti della politica economica finanziaria del fascismo. With this essay we aim to reconstruct Ernesto Rossi's brief but deep scientific collaboration with La Riforma Sociale, a prestigious journal of economics and the social sciences founded by Francesco Saverio Nitti in 1894 and directed by Luigi Einaudi since 1908. Between 1926 and 1930, Rossi wrote seven long essays on issues of public finance, applied economics and economic statistics that have been relatively neglected by historiography. The re-reading of these contributions allows us to delve into some crucial moments in his training as an economist. In particular: the influence of Einaudi and De Viti de Marco; the predilection for an empirical approach to economic analysis; his early criticism of the economic and financial policy of fascism.
