«A friendly spirit of cooperation. Note su Luigi Einaudi, la Fondazione Carnegie e la Economic and Social History of the World War

The paper focuses on the contribution made by Luigi Einaudi to the Storia economica e sociale della Grande guerra (Economic and Social History of the World War), or rather to the Italian series of which he was editor between 1925 and 1933. The Economic and Social History of the World War was financed in the early post-war years by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Einaudi contributed two monographs to the Italian series. One – La condotta economica e le conseguenze sociali della guerra italiana (1933) – would become a classic of historiography of the Great War and the origins of Italian fascism after a long period of oblivion.
