Luigi Amoroso, 1886-1965
Neapolitan-born Italian mathematician, Lausanne
School economist and professor of political economy at the University of
Rome. A faithful follower of Vilfredo Pareto,
Amoroso made important contributions to the theory of demand with non-additive utility functions.
He also attempted to extend the Lausanne theory to a general
theory of dynamics, indeed so far as to underpin a theory of endogenous
business cycles. He was one of the founders of the Econometric
Society.
In later years, Amoroso embraced Fascism and attempted to provide an
economic rationale for the Fascist reorganization of the economy.
