Torino, Giulio Einaudi Editore, 1944. In-8° (21 x 15), pp. 119. Brossura editoriale, intonso. (9028) Edizione abbastanza "fortunosa", finita di stampare in Roma nell'ottobre del 1944, ma recante l'indicazione di Torino, pubblicata nel difficile periodo in cui la casa editrice si era trasferita a Roma mantenendo una improbabile sede legale a Torino, in un'Italia divisa dalla guerra. La traduzione, anonima, fu opera di Ernesto Rossi. Questa raccolta di saggi dell'economista inglese Lionel Robbins (1898-1985), fautore del liberalismo economico e spesso in conflitto con Keynes, era apparsa nel 1939, e individuava le diverse cause della guerra imminente, tra cui soprattutto il nazionalismo economico, mentre metteva in dubbio la teoria marxista che vedeva nell'imperialismo e nella pressione dell'industria degli armamenti la causa ineluttabile della guerra. Come è noto Robbins si fece poi portatore di istanze federaliste nell'Europa del dopoguerra. The New Palgrave, IV/p. 207; Cat. storico Einaudi, p. 157.

London, Macmillan & Co., 1932. 8vo. In the original green embossed cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Printed on thick paper. A few pages with light marginal pencil annotations. A small tear to p. VII. Otherwise a very fine copy. XII, 141, (3) pp. With author's presentation inscription to front free end-paper: "Apologia pro vita sua / L .C. R." First edition, presentation-copy, of Robbins's landmark publication, in which he sought to define more precisely economics as a science. With the present publication he became instrumental in shifting Anglo-Saxon economics from its Marshallian direction, which eventually caused the breakthrough of neo-classical (Walrasian) definition of economics. The work is "one of the most cited, if not most read, books on the subject in the period 1932-60, and it influenced greatly economists' views about the nature of their discipline." (The New Palgrave). The definitions of economics presented here "were widely accepted by the world of academic economists and are still propagated" (The New Palgrave).Robbins put forth two central themes, both having a lasting and deep influence upon economics of the 20th century, the first being: "That economic science could be clearly demarcated from those discussions of economic issues that involved value judgments - by which latter term Robbins meant evaluation statements of the form 'better or worse' where inter-personal comparisons of utility were involved. He also argued that there was a clear demarcation between economic science and other branches of social enquiry such as social psychology, sociology, politics and so on."The second major theme was that the subject matter of economic science was not a particular activity (for example, Cannan's view that economics was the science of wealth), but rather an aspect of all human conduct. This aspect was the 'fact' of economic scarcity - a manifestation of unlimited ends on the part of individuals and society and means of satisfying those ends that were limited in supply. In word so often quoted in economics text Robbins defined economic science as 'that science that studies the relationship between ends and means that have alternative uses' - a definition that is more than reminiscent of Menger's exposition of the economizing process." (The New palgrave)Lionel Robbins (1898 - 1984) was a British (mainly theoretical) economist and head of the economics department at the London School of Economics. In macroeconomics Robbins's was a firm exponent of the Hayek's - and the Austrian school in general - teachings whom he brought to the London School of Economics in 1928. His liberal view was expressed when he famously, together with Joseph Schumpeter, advocated that nothing should be done about the 1929-depression and that it had to run its course since this alone would create a lasting development out of the depression.
