Tentare di discuterle, o anche semplicemente di illustrarle, mostra quanto sia difficile chiarire quale sia esattamente il campo di lavoro degli economisti. Questo fatto potrebbe non costituire un problema: in fondo, le definizioni precise sono sempre incomplete, se non addirittura fuorvianti. Una disciplina è definita implicitamente da quel che fanno coloro che la praticano; 1 di fronte ai cambiamenti che ciascuna disciplina sperimenta nel corso del tempo, la rinuncia a definizioni esplicite e precise ha molti vantaggi. Proprio per questo, nel seguire questa strada-come fa Montesano, che pure fornisce alcune indicazioni in negativo (le perplessità che avanza nei confronti della più diffusa definizione esplicita, quella di Lionel Robbins) e in positivo (con il riferimento all'economia come relativa "all'organ...

The paper illustrates the Charter: its attempt to reconcile, in light of the Italian Constitution, the twin and opposite characteristics of labor as sacrifice and as contributing to the social dignity of workers; and the law's compromises between the opposite needs of the labor process (stability and flexibility of employment, employers' freedom in hiring, the need to avoid discrimination, and so on).

While most obituaries and recollections of Spaventa focus on his academic or political activities, the author focuses here on Spaventa's contributions to economic theory, in particular the theory of capital and distribution, growth and dualism in development, international finance and the European Monetary System.

The paper begins by pointing to the high ratio between fixed and variable costs as a characteristic of the oil sector in all its production stages. Then the story of the sector is sketched, since the expansion of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust in the late Nineteenth century. Anti-trust intervention and collusion characterize the first part of the story; the notion of "trilateral oligopoly" (oil companies, producing and consuming countries) is then utilized in interpreting the developments since the Second World War. An illustration and a critique of the role played by financial markets in the determination of oil prices is accompanied by a critique of the theories interpreting oil prices as determined by its nature as a scarce natural resource. Recent trends in the oil sector, with the development of shale oil, are briefly considered.

In this issue, the PSL Quarterly Review is relaunching the “Recollections of Eminent Economists” series, which used to be published in both English and Italian, respectively in BNL Quarterly Review and Moneta e Credito. The “Recollections of Eminent Economists” series was launched in 1978, with the first article in September 1978 by John Hicks. The Recollections were intended as a series of autobiographies of intellectuals. Authors invited to contribute were allowed full liberty of topic and scope. ). As before, authors invited to contribute to the new series are granted the maximum creative liberty; the articles may be autobiographical, or consist in reflections on their research, or, more generally, on economics as a discipline. The first inaugural contribution published in this issue is by board member A.P. Thirlwall.

There, Sylos Labini recalls his oligopoly theory, but he also extends his remarks to a full range of necessary structural reforms for Italy at the time. The present article explains the theoretical basis of Sylos Labini’s remarks, and highlights the relevance of the testimony for subsequent (and indeed contemporary) policymaking.
