Abstract
The examination of Fuoco’s work comes naturally after the review of both the Milanese school and the French contribution, for his work is a product of the influence of both currents. He is, in fact, the first author to have gone systematically into the literature of mathematical economics available then and to have presented a systematic defence of the application of mathematical methods in economic analysis. It is for this that he deserves a special place in the history of early developments in mathematical economics rather than for any original mathematical formulations of his own.
