Title: La contemporaneità dell'economia militare di Epicarmo Corbino 
(The modernity of Epicarmo Corbino's military economy) 
Abstract: Corbino has addressed the issue of war with a multidimensional approach, giving space to the sociological
and anthropological reasoning. He may be referred to as a representative of the modern military
economic thought.
We will see in the script that economists have not devoted their analysis on military matters while
considering them extraneous to economic reasoning even though: the resources devoted to the military
sector may also have implications in research and development of integrated systems of civil security
and civil technologies; military actions are often directed to create stabilization and dialogue
between warring countries, also necessaries to establish a proper security level in the capitalists country-systems; political and strategic choices are useful for establishing an international visibility of the
country and for the opening of new markets; although the costs of war are involving the fight against
terrorism, international piracy, cross-border security, law and order establishment.
All important factors to the normal and secure development of economic relations at the global
level that Epicarmo Corbino had already outlined through his thoughts on military economy.
We will see that the multidimensional approach to war has allowed Corbino, moving from Barone
and Pantaleoni footsteps, to deal brightly and clearly the most salient aspects of the economy of defense.
