Abstract
-
This dissertation has three objectives. The first is to indicate the important place of Ugo Mazzola in the history of public finance. His 1890 book I dati scientifici della finanza pubblica marks the birth of the independent science of Public Finance which has attracted the best economists to its realm in Italy. The second aim is to introduce the English-language student of public finance to the Italian fiscal doctrine with which (s)he is still relatively unfamiliar despite considerable efforts of James Buchanan. In this connection, the contributions of two other Italian economists, Maffeo Pantaleoni and Antonio de Viti de Marco, must be pointed out since these three men shaped the "scienza" della finanza pubblica together* although it was Mazzola who gave Public Finance its theoretical character by completing the analysis of the fiscal process started off by Pantaleoni and elaborated by de Viti de Marco. The third and last objective of this dissertation is to show that, although concentrating in the last two decades of the 19th century, the Italian fiscal doctrine based on the concept of public goods appears to be far more adequate than its Anglo-Saxon counterpart in tackling complicated fiscal problems of the State. What is recommended is an integrated.;approach whereby fiscal analysis is made within a public choice paradigm.;(*Published as received.) UMI.
