Title: L'economia e gli interessi vivants negli scritti di Sismondi 
(The notion of 'interest' in Sismondi's economic writings)
Abstract: In Sismondi’s economic analysis the notion of interest has a dynamic value: it serves not only to explain
the ability of the economic system to establish an order among its component factors but also
to found the economic discourse on criteria of justice which bend on a process similar to that used to
legitimate the existence and actions of society. The Genevan and Scottish traditions represent for
Sismondi the sources of his original solution to the problem posed by the difficult relationship
between individual and public interest
