  • David Ricardo. An Intellectual Biography

    Sergio CremaschiBOOKDavid Ricardo. an Intellectual…2021

    David Ricardo has been acclaimed – or vilified – for merits he would never have dreamt of, or sins for which he was entirely innocent. Entrenched mythology labels him as a utilitarian economist, an enemy of the working class, an impractical theorist, a scientist with ‘no philosophy at all’ and the author of a formalist methodological revolution. Exploring a middle ground between theory and biography, this book explores the formative intellectual …

  • The Italian Enlightenment and the Rehabilitation of Moral and Political Philosophy

    Sergio CremaschiARTICLEThe European Legacy2020References: 5

    By reconstructing the eighteenth-century movement of the Italian Enlightenment, I show that Italy’s political fragmentation notwithstanding, there was a constant circulation of ideas, whether on philosophical, ethical, political, religious, social, economic or scientific questions, among different groups in various states. This exchange was made possible by the shared language of its leading illuministi—Cesare Beccaria, Ludovico Antonio Muratori,…

  • Adam Smith on Savages

    Sergio CremaschiARTICLERevue de philosophie économique2017References: 3

    Dans l’œuvre d’Adam Smith il y a une tension entre une appréciation positive des capacités intellectuelles et morales du sauvage et la caractérisation de la première étape de l’histoire humaine comme un état de besoin et d’isolement qui est la cause de l’incapacité de la société primitive d’évoluer vers les étapes suivantes. J’illustre comment le post-scepticisme de Smith le met en mesure de mieux comprendre les sauvages que la plupart de ses con…

  • Utilitarianism and Malthus’s Virtue Ethics: Respectable, virtuous and happy

    Sergio CremaschiBOOKUtilitarianism and Malthus'…2014

    The die-hard image of Malthus the ogre has not completely disappeared yet. And yet, Malthus showed no less concern than Adam Smith for the labouring poor. In order to make full sense of such expression of concern and to appraise their relevance in Malthus’s work, we need to know what moral philosophy, what view of natural science, and what view of the "moral and political science" Malthus endorsed. This book reconstructs Malthus’s meta-ethics, hi…

  • Malthus and Ricardo: Two styles for Economic Theory

    Open AccessSergio Cremaschi, Marcelo DascalARTICLEScience in Context1998Cited by: 4References: 7

    The ArgumentWe examine the most famous controversy between economists - the one between Thomas Robert Malthus and David Ricardo - as a means of shedding fresh light on the current debate about economic methodology. By focusing on this controversy as the primary unit of analysis, we show how methodological considerations are but one of a whole set ofstratagemsemployed by each opponent. We argue that each opponent's preference for a particular kind…
