Abstract

The present French translation, edited by André Tiran and his collaborators, is published by Garnier in the collection Écrits sur l’économie, which “attempts to re-actualise the major texts of economic science from the 14th to the 20th century. The publication consists of scientific editions, bilingual where necessary, alongside a system of notes and introductions essential for their contextualisation”. The task has been brilliantly accomplished. Indeed, we have here not just a translation, but a fascinating journey in the Italian history and culture of the xviii century. Enlightenment is influent both in Northern Italy and in Naples and the South, and makes its best effort to rule State and economy by reason and to implement the necessary reforms.
