Abstract

The article recalls the main results derived by the notable Italian mathematician Bruno de Finetti that may be of interest for economists. It is especially important to briefly overview his works and views on welfare economics and actuarial mathematics in light of the dominant approach in economics today, based on crude and supposedly neutral formalization, and often blind to the philosophical and moral implications of its analysis. De Finetti studied social security and social protection with analyses of great interest, for example anticipating the so-called Aaron’s paradox by a decade. But he also discussed the relative merits as well as the relative security of pre-funded and pay-as-you-go pension systems, denoting a much wider perspective than what is currently usually the case.
