The name of Emil Sax is frequently to be found in the history of Italian economic thought in the age of marginalism. This paper reconstructs three episodes to describe the relationship between Emil Sax and Italy. The first concerns the introduction of marginal analysis into some specific issues of public finance, seeing the works of Maffeo Pantaleoni (1883) and Sax (1887) as of primary significance. The second is about the reception accorded to Sax's thought in Italy: his 1887 work was immediately examined, discussed and assimilated, especially by Giuseppe Ricca-Salerno (1887), and by Augusto Graziani (1887). The third relates to the development of a pure theory of public finance, and concerns the works of Sax (1887) and Antonio De Viti de Marco (1888).

Abstract
The name of Emil Sax is frequently to be found in the history of Italian economic thought in the age of marginalism. This paper reconstructs three episodes to describe the relationship between Emil Sax and Italy. The first concerns the introduction of marginal analysis into some specific issues of public finance, seeing the works of Maffeo Pantaleoni (1883) and Sax (1887) as of primary significance. The second is about the reception accorded to Sax's thought in Italy: his 1887 work was immediately examined, discussed and assimilated, especially by Giuseppe Ricca-Salerno (1887), and by Augusto Graziani (1887). The third relates to the development of a pure theory of public finance, and concerns the works of Sax (1887) and Antonio De Viti de Marco (1888).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
