Abstract

Federico Caffè was a myth for several generations of scholars and students. He has fundamentally contributed to the scientific statute of economic policy with his lectures and writings. His relationship with this discipline, together with his continual urging for the application of measures aimed to distributive equity, alternative to the ones adopted, may find support in the invitation, encouraged by economic literature, to an economic interpretation of history. For his refusal to accept the hypotheses and the propositions of the New Classical Macroeconomics, he has been considered a heterodox economist. The intellectual legacy of Federico Caffè is huge. It was collected through a life entirely dedicated to study and teaching and was expressed into his accurate and suggestive evaluations of both the Italian and the international economic policies in the after second world war period. His aim, the same of John Maynard Keynes, was to free capitalism from its evident flaws represented by a persistent unemployment and an arbitrary and inequitable distribution of income and wealth. His life was pervaded by what he called the economic policy of the time lost
