Da S. Cognetti de Martiis a L. Einaudi. L'eredità del Laboratorio di Economia Politica nelle collezioni della Biblioteca N. Bobbio - From S. Cognetti de Martiis to L. Einaudi. The heritage of the Laboratory of Political Economy in the Bobbio Library

Abstract

The exhibition is dedicated to an important institution of the University of Turin, the Laboratory of Political Economy, founded one hundred and thirty years ago, in 1893, by Salvatore Cognetti de Martiis, and headed by Luigi Einaudi from 1900. The exhibition traces the history of this institution in its golden age, the one characterized by the presence, as leaders, of Cognetti and Einaudi, who were the main exponents of a school, the Turin School of Economics, that was an important expression of that season of Italian economic thought.
