«Avarizia. La passione dell'avere. I 7 vizi capitali» is the essay by Stefano Zamagni, published by Il Mulino in paperback (143 pages, in Italian).
Stefano Zamagni, an economist, studies avarice, the most «economic» of the seven capital sins, and its evolution since late antiquity: first the root of all evils, then a driver of prosperity in civic humanism, and again a vice in recent decades. The miser is possessed by things: he accumulates without using, owns without sharing.
The work appeared in 2009 in the «Intersezioni» series by Il Mulino and includes bibliographic references and an index.
Aimed at readers interested in moral philosophy, the history of ideas, and the relationship between economics and ethics.
