      abstract = {This book explores the relationship between economic  thought, proposals for reform of political institutions,  and civil society in the period between the rise to power  of Napoleon and the eve of the First World War in Italy and  France; two countries with a similar cultural and political  tradition and with personal mobility of the intellectual  class. The first section of the book is devoted to the  struggle for identity, justice, and liberty, including its  economic dimensions. The relation between political and  economic freedom and its effect on equity is then addressed  in detail, and the third, concluding section focuses on the  intellectual and political conflict between the social  visions of liberalism and socialism in some of their  various forms, again with consideration of the economic  implications. The comparative nature of the analysis,  combined with its interdisciplinary approach to the history  of economic and political thought and social history, will  enable the reader to understand more clearly the historical  evolution of each country and the relevant contemporary  political and economic issues.--},
