Vilfredo Pareto. Manuale di Economia Politica con una Introduzione alla Scienza Sociale. Milan: Societa Editrice Libreria. 1906. In the latter part of the nineteenth century a number of significant events paved the way for the reception and subsequent development of marginalist economic theory in Italy. Economic societies had been formed, most notably the Societa Adamo Smith in Florence in 1874; pioneering works on economics were being undertaken by the likes of Francesco Ferrara and Angelo Messedaglia; journals were established to disseminate pure economic theory and advocate 'liberal' public policy propositions, such as the Giornale degli Economisti, which was founded in 1875; and classic foreign works on economics were being translated into Italian and published by the Biblioteca dell'economista from 1850.
