MARIO CEDRINI is a full professor of Economics at Università di Torino, Italy, and Deputy Director of the Department of Economics and Statistics “Cognetti de Martiis”. He teaches macroeconomics, economics as a science, and ecological economics. His early research has mainly focused on John Maynard Keynes’s epistemological and methodological reflections and suggestions for global reform. He is currently working on economics as a discipline. His research group has been awarded two research grants by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (PRIN 2017 and PRIN 2022) to explore using text mining techniques whether economics has finally become, at a time of increasing specialization and fragmentation, an “immature” science, and whether journals, as a consequence, have become a significant force in structuring the discipline.

One of the editors of The Annals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi, he has published Economics as Social Science. Economics Imperialism and the Challenge of Interdisciplinarity (with R. Marchionatti, Routledge 2017), and Secondo Keynes. Il disordine economic internazionale e le speranze di una nuova Bretton Woods (with A. Carabelli, Castelvecchi 2014), as well as a series of articles in international economics journals (EJHET, CJE, JoIE, JEM, JPKE, JEI, RRPE, FSE, HEI). He has served as Secretary-General of the Italian Association for the History of Political Economy (STOREP) for 2015-2021 and is now a member of the Executive Committee. He is also a member of the Executive Committee of the European Society for the History of Economic Thought (ESHET) and of the Scientific Committee of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi, Torino.
