A Special Issue of HEI in Memory of Riccardo Faucci - Call for Papers

HEI - History of Economic Ideas will publish a special issue in memory of its founder, Professor Riccardo Faucci (1945-2023), who passed away last October. The issue will be published at the end of the year as HEI XXXII/3/2024.

Faucci’s 45-year scientific career covered a broad range of topics in the history of economic thought. Three main lines of research can be identified:

- The economists as policy-makers and public intellectuals.

- Classical economics.

- The history of Italian economic thought.

To honor his scholarship, we invite original submissions on any topic related to one or more of these research areas. Additionally, the special issue will include an English translation of Faucci’s final academic lesson, delivered at his retirement in 2015. 

Unlike HEI’s standard procedures, submissions for this special issue must be sent directly to the editor via the journal's email ([log in to unmask]). Papers must not exceed 9000 words and must be received by June 1st.

The submission should be in either Word or PDF format, in anonymous form with a separate cover page and a 100-word abstract. Note that adherence to HEI’s stylistic guidelines is not required at this stage.

Editorial decisions will be communicated to authors by August 15th, and accepted papers must be finalized by October 15th. 

In recognition of Faucci’s lifelong commitment to supporting younger generations of scholars in the history of economic thought, submissions by authors under the age of 35 will be given priority in the selection process. Authors must indicate if they qualify as a young scholar.
