Title: Francesco Saverio Nitti fra Scienza delle finanze e pragmatismo economico 
(Francesco Saverio Nitti between public economic and economic pragmatism)

have a realistic view of the economic theory, and believed in a theoretical approach which considers
the particular distribution of resources in the economy. This conviction was probably reinforced by
the measures he adopted as Prime Minister, since in the last edition of his work he added a chapter
dedicated to the analysis of the main taxation measures adopted by his government and by the following
Giolitti’s government
