- Summary:
- During the 19th century, it was believed that only a single copy of the treatise survived; now ten copies are accounted for, and this first full translation into English should take it off the endangered literature list. A lawyer and political economist in Naples, Serra added his voice to debates across Europe at the time about the best structure of the economy for various countries. After a substantial 93-page introduction, Reinert (Harvard Business School) presents the text in Italian with facing pages of English. Distributed in the US by Books International, Incorporated.
