The reception of Lionel Robbins in Italy

Author

  • Fabio Masini

Abstract

The economic literature is giving new attention to Lionel Robbins' main contributions to economic theory, confined for several decades to the Essay , systematically misunderstood as the manifesto of the epistemology of neoclassical economics, where its underlying ontology characterized by rational maximizing agents, social atomism and a positivistic approach to economics is systematized and laid down. This paper aims at verifying ‘which’ Robbins was received in Italy in the 1930s and 1940s and what was the attitude of Italian economists, from the manifold approaches that characterized the debate in Italy in that period, towards him.
