Abstract

This article aims at revisiting De Viti’s explanatory scheme of the State in order to highlight its links with the Public Choice approach. First, De Viti’s theory of the state is re-examined in order to draw attention to the aspects linked to his positive-normative-ideal approach. Second, a review of the literature is carried out to highlight what can be considered specific points of agreement between De Viti and Public Choice. Finally, an attempt is made to provide an overall assessment of how De Viti may be related to Public Choice. La Public Choice e Antonio De Viti de Marco Questo saggio si propone di rivisitare lo schema esplicativo dello Stato di Antonio De Viti de Marco al fine di evidenziarne i legami con l'approccio della Public Choice.

In secondo luogo, viene effettuata una rassegna della letteratura per evidenziare quelli che possono essere considerati gli specifici punti di raccordo tra De Viti e la Public Choice. Infine, si cerca di fornire una valutazione complessiva delle relazioni tra De Viti e la Public Choice.
