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.

Federico Caffè opens and encourages intellectual inquiries both
