In the late 1980s and early 1990s a process was started that would lead to the single currency in Europe. The choice made for its governance relied on an intergovernmental monitoring over convergence, based on the strict compliance to the Maastricht criteria. The White Paper of the Delors’s Commission on Growth, Competitiveness, Employment was issued in September 1993 to face the new internal and external threats to the European economies. It provided a framework for policy-action that should accompany the building of the euro and help the European economy survive the challenges of globalization, sustainability and new ICTs. The paper aims to examine the White Paper of 1993, and to analyse the reasons why it was neglected and eventually set aside by the member States, thus weakening the long-term prospects of the European economy and the sustainability of the forthcoming European single currency.

In the 19th century the liberal author Joseph Garnier (1813-1881) had a clear influence on Spanish economists; however, his discourse has not been much studied in the literature. His Elements were adopted as an economics textbook at Spanish universities and it was one of the most recommended books on political economy. In contrast, other authors such as John Stuart Mill were not so well received. A study of the reasons for this influence in the context of nineteenth-century Spain is therefore needed. This article aims to fill this gap and highlight the work of Garnier who facilitated the diffusion of the free-trade doctrine and the rationalization of the administration in Spain.

This paper proposes a reconstruction of Federico Caffe’s stance on the state of economic science in Italy. As has been observed, this subject was developed by Caffe for a project by Gustavo Del Vecchio, who called "for the study of Italian economic thought "on repeated occasions" (Caffe 1975: vii). We will conclude that, in Caffe’s view, the Italian economists who took an active part in the debate on Sraffa’s thought should more appropriately have relaunched the neglected ideas of the General Theory in order to overcome the «second crisis» of economic theory by means of a system of thought suitable for policy applications.
本文对费德里克·卡菲关于意大利经济科学状况的立场进行了重构。正如我们所观察到的,这个主题是由Caffe为Gustavo Del Vecchio的一个项目发展起来的,Gustavo Del Vecchio多次呼吁“研究意大利经济思想”(Caffe 1975:vii)我们将得出结论,在Caffe看来,积极参与关于斯拉法思想的辩论的意大利经济学家应该更恰当地重新启动被忽视的通论思想,以便通过适合于政策应用的思想体系来克服经济理论的“第二次危机”。
