Abstract
In this paper we put machines and mechanisms, Mechanism and Machine Science (MMS) and the foundation of the International Federation for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (IFToMM) in the wide perspective of the economic history of the world and we devote some attention to the activities of IFToMM’s Permanent Commission for the History of MMS.
