Abstract

A story of two young lovers in seventeenth-century Lombardy whose attempt to get married is hindered by a jealous nobleman, The Betrothed (1827) is both one of the world’s greatest works of historical fiction and one of the best treatises of political economy ever penned. It’s no wonder that knowledgeable economists have urged government ministers and business managers to dip into Alessandro Manzoni’s literary masterpiece whenever they had an idle moment.
