Well, Mario de Bernardi who edited Dupuit (and also Botero) was perhaps an aviator but was not a fascist if we are to believe Daniela Parisi.. cf. *Quaderni dell'Istituto* Daniela Parisi, Sailing the Atlantic to study Economics. Rockefeller philanthropy and pioneering of specialization in the USA, ottobre 2004. downloadable at http://www3.unicatt.it/unicattolica/Istituti/Teoriaeconomica/allegati/39.pdf The paper gives biographical details on De Bernardi pp 30-31 Another Rockefeller Foundation fund granted Mario De Bernardi (b.1906) a fruitful experience, too: he had graduated in Turin in 1928, and his stays in England and France to study Political Science were financed in 1931-1932. He is deservingly mentioned in this paper as those studies allowed him to refine his competence in the History of Economic Thought, and to publish De l'utilite et de sa mesure by Jules Dupuit, together with his translation of New Frontiers by Henry A. Wallace and the Harvard Economic Group volume on the New Deal edited by Joseph A. Schumpeter and Edwin H. Chamberlin. His personal experience is registered in the Rockefeller Foundation Archives which also report that [he] has encountered serious political difficulties in attempting to enter the academic career. He has so far been refused the membership card in the Fascist Party required of all Candidates for University positions. This seems to be due to an open letter he signed in 1929 with many other Turin students, addressed to Benedetto Croce, approving the latter's stand on the problem of the relations between Church and State in Italy [...] Material preserved at the Rockefeller Archive Center proves that during 1934 various documents were collected to gather impressions from Italy, on its political situation and its academic panorama. Mario De Bernardi was awarded a grant [..] Parisi adds the following bibliography which did not include Dupuit's book: De Bernardi, M.,1929, Il concetto di ragion di stato in Giovanni Botero e la filosofia della politica, in "Atti della Reale accademia di Scienze di Torino", vol. 65 -------------------, 1930, Appunti bibliografici attorno a Giovanni Botero, in " Atti della Reale accademia di Scienze di Torino", vol. 65 -------------------, 1931, Giovanni Botero economista, Istituto Giuridico dell'Universit=E0, Torino -------------------, 1934, Monetaristi e mercanitilisti francesio dal 16=B0 al 18=B0 secolo, in "La Riforma Sociale", Jan.-Feb. -------------------,1949, Botero, Giovanni, in "Encyclopaedia of the Social Science" by Seligman and Johnson, vol.
