«Keynes o Hayek» is the economic history essay by Nicholas Wapshott, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (336 pages, in Italian).
The book reconstructs the duel between Keynes and Hayek after the 1929 crash: Keynes defends state intervention to sustain the economy; Hayek considers it useless and dangerous. Wapshott follows their meetings, the dispute among their disciples, and shows how this clash remains relevant in debates on free markets and public spending.
Italian edition translated by Giancarlo Carlotti, published in the Universale Economica. Storia collection (no. 8579). Original work: «Keynes Hayek: The Clash that Defined Modern Economics» (2011).
For readers interested in economics, history of economic thought, and the debate on the role of the state in the market.
