Liberty Fund is honored to announce the arrival of Giandomenica Becchio as a Visiting Scholar. Giandomenica Becchio (Ph.D. University of Florence) is a Professor of history of economic thought, methodology of economics, and theory of entrepreneurship at the University of Torino (ESOMAS Department), Italy.
Her research field includes history of political economy, Austrian economics, feminist economics, and women economists’ contributions to economic thought. Supported by research fellowships, she has been visiting scholar/professor at Duke University; Yeshiva University (NYC); Hitotsubashi University (Tokyo); VSE University (Prague); Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro; Gender Institute at LSE; the New School for Social Research; UTS (Sydney); and Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (Vienna).
Her publications include several articles published in major academic journals and two books—one on the philosophical origin of neoliberalism as developed within the history of economic thought, and one on the history of feminist and gender economics (Routledge, 2017; Routledge 2020).
She is currently the National Secretary of AISPE (Italian Association for the History of Economic Thought) and member of the Institute for Political Studies’ International Advisory Board and the Estoril Political Forum’s Board of Convenors. Further, she is writing a book about marriage theory within classical liberalism and the history of economic thought (expected in 2024, Palgrave). During her time at the Liberty Fund offices, she will be leading in-office discussion, advising us on our library holdings, and helping to develop conference proposals and web content.
