Rate this book
Las pequenas grandes obras de Carlo M. Cipolla, Contra un enemigo mortal e invisible, Entre la historia y la economia, El gobierno de la moneda, ... alimentaron en sus inicios una coleccion que se ha ido enriqueciendo con textos indispensables para quienes se inician o adentran en el oficio de historiador. Asi, por ejemplo, El debate Brenner, de T. H. Aston y C. H. E. Philpin, Imperialismo ecologico, de Alfred W. Crosby, Problemas historicos e interpretaciones economicas, de Charles P. Kindleberger, Agenda para una historia radical, de E. P. Thompson o La investigacion historica: teoria y metodo, de Julio Arostegui. Primer intento de hacer una autentica « historia de la enfermedad: vista globalmente y como algo interno a la sociedad y estrechamente ligado a ella. Valiendose de una documentacion de extraordinaria riqueza, el profesor Cipolla analiza en los dos estudios reunidos en este volumen la ecologia y las condiciones sanitarias en la Toscana del Seiscientos.

Carlo M. Cipolla (August 15, 1922 – September 5, 2000) was an Italian economic historian. He was born in Pavia, where he got his academic degree in 1944.
As a young man, Cipolla wanted to teach history and philosophy in an Italian high school, and therefore enrolled at the political science faculty at Pavia University. Whilst a student there, thanks to professor Franco Borlandi, a specialist in Medieval economic history, he discovered his passion for economic history. Subsequently he studied at the Sorbonne and the London School of Economics.

Cipolla obtained his first teaching post in economic history in Catania at the age of 27. This was to be the first stop in a long academic career in Italy (Venice, Turin, Pavia, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and Fiesole) and abroad. In 1953 Cipolla left for the United States as a Fulbright fellow and in 1957 became a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Two years later he obtained a full professorship.

"Il giorno seguente, mercoledì 23 di luglio, arrivò d'urgenza a Monte Lupo il commissario Sacchetti. Era incavolatissimo."

In mezzo a ricche note ironiche si collocano 4 saggi bellissimi, esempio di metodo di storia sociale realizzato, peraltro, da uno storico dell'economia.
Troviamo disperazione per la povertà e l'indigenza che sono esasperate da malattie infinite, verso cui la scienza medica si confondeva con cialtroneria e la politica non riusciva a dare risposte concrete.
E se questo ci ricorda qualcosa, non è colpa mia.
