Abstract

Gino Borgatta’s formative studies were undertaken under the guidance of Luigi Einaudi. Consequently, his deep interest in the study of fiscal phenomena comes as no surprise. Similarly, given his direct exposure to Pareto at the University of Lausanne and his many commentaries on fundamental aspects of Pareto’s work (such as Borgatta 1917, 1923 and 1924), his attempts to extend the theoretical methods and scope of Pareto’s sociological theory to the study of public finance is also understandable. However, as his two masters held fundamentally different views on the appropriate methods for public finance theory, with Pareto largely dismissive of the purely economic approach to fiscal theory and Einaudi even more dismissive of Pareto’s sociology, Borgatta’s approach to fiscal theory is of particular historical interest.
