Context
and motivations
The international journal Global & Local Economic
Review announces the Special Issue to commemorate
the notable Italian economist Federico Caffè,
born on January 6, 1914, mysteriously disappeared
on April 15, 1987, and declared dead on October
30, 1998. This year, Global & Local Economic
Review joins with the University of Chieti-Pescara
(Italy) and Caffè-D’Ascanio Research Centre
Foundation (Italy) in order to commemorate the 100th
anniversary of the birth of Professor Federico Caffè.
Federico Caffè was particularly interested
in Economic and Financial policy issues, and Welfare
economics, especially in their social dimensions.
One of his main seminal works, Lezioni di Politica
Economica (En. tr. Lectures on Economic Policy),
is widely regarded as the complete summary of his
social and economic thoughts. He was a strong critic
of free trade, avowedly Keynesian in inspiration,
and also very interested in the Scandinavian welfare
model.

of the birth of Federico Caffè opens and
