Luigi Einaudi and the Bocconi Years
For the first time, Luigi Einaudi’s lectures on public expenditure offer insights that remain strikingly relevant. His ideas—from defence spending to a concept presaging modern Eurobonds—provide guiding principles for contemporary economic policy at national and European levels.

This innovative biography of Luigi Einaudi, an outstanding Italian political personality of the 20th century, highlights his lesser-known contributions. His proposals for a European federation inspired the EU, and his monetary policies prefigured today’s European Central Bank.
