Abstract

Italian Abstract: Con questo saggio intendo fare luce sulla presenza e la rilevanza teoretica dell’idea del buongoverno nel pensiero di Einaudi, attraverso un confronto con il pensiero di Mosca basato su identità e differenze tra le loro concezioni del governo della legge, l'opinione pubblica, il governo misto, il ruolo del ceto medio, la teoria delle élites e il modo in cui fecero i conti con le emergenti istanze democratiche. In ultima istanza il buon governo si mostrerà una nozione chiave per comprendere il liberalismo di Einaudi. English Abstract: With this essay I aim to shed light on the presence and the theoretical relevance of the idea of good government in Einaudi's thought through a comparison with Mosca's thought based on identities and differences between their conceptions of the rule of law, public opinion, the mixed government, the role of the middle class, the theory of elites and the way in which they faced the nascent democratic demands. Ultimately good government will prove to be a key concept to understand Einaudi's liberalism.
