Abstract
1. — There are several motivations which have prompted today’s debate. The first is to present in Italy topics and analyses contained in a volume edited by Professor Eltis, director of the National Economic Development Office, which refers particularly, but not exclusively, to the British economy. This volume, Keynes and Economic Policy (1) has just been published by MacMillan. The final essay by Eltis provided the title for this meeting.
