This book outlines the rich and complex path of Luigi Amoroso, the main exponent of the Paretian School in Italy and probably the most important Italian mathematical economist during the interwar period. The author presents, in a systematic form, the evolution of Amoros's thinking and his main achievements. Despite his relevance, many aspects of Amoroso's thought are little known or misunderstood. This volume delves further to explore the Paretian tradition in which Amoroso enlisted, the conservative anti-democratic ideology that prompted his adhesion to fascism, his contribution to defining the main features of economic theory as formal science, and his various contributions to specific fields such as microeconomic theory, equilibrium dynamics, business cycles and non-competitive markets. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought.

This book analyzes the evolution of the approach of dynamic equilibrium between the two world wars. Focusing on its intellectual history, it describes precisely how the central idea of equilibrium dynamics was advanced and mathematically formulated in the years of high theory in an international context, explaining clearly the creation of economic dynamics in the context of its historical development.
