Biography
Antonio Magliulo is Full Professor of History of Economic Thought at the University of Florence, Italy.
Magliulo’s sweeping overview European history, integrating the political history of Europe and the history of economic thought, is a major accomplishment. One can further only hope that his call for “an innovative model of supranational democracy” will be followed.
