Abstract

The paper illustrates the relationship between the idea of human capita and Italian history of economic thought. Italian tradition frequently adopted a moralising idea of economics in which the role played by “education”, “knowledge” and “will” was broadly expanded. It is possible to identify, in some economists, a known but not analytically specified predisposition to categorise human beings and their acquired skills as a form of capital (Gioja, Cattaneo, Messedaglia, Pareto and Beneduce), even though there are some exceptions (Coletti). JEL classification: B10, B30, J24
