Originally published in 1989, this book was the first comprehensive
and analytical account of the Italian small firm economy to appear
in English. Dealing principally with the area of central and
north-east Italy where small business flourishes, the book relates
to the concentration of such companies to the concept of
'industrial districts' developed by Alfred Marshall, and provides
both a theoretical and statistical basis for Italy in the latter
part of the twentieth century. The success of Italian manufacturing
is explained in terms of political and social factors as well as
economic and technical ones and the working practices within the
technology companies discussed.

The book explores aspects of reflexivity and interactivity in a
variety of academic genres: oral and written, scientific and
educational. Academic discourse is explored from a variety of
perspectives that take a dialogic view of language use as their
starting point, ranging from conversation analysis to descriptive
or applied genre studies. Particular attention is paid to the way
metadiscursive expressions contribute to a representation of the
communicative procedures that characterise the ongoing (scientific
and educational) dialogues.
From the viewpoint of carrying out multi-disciplinary studies
between economics and other social sciences, Pareto's theories are
especially important as they are the core of contemporary orthodox
economics. His sociology is constructed very differently from his
economics. First the former deals with non-rational social
behaviour of human beings, whilst the latter with rational
behaviour; secondly, in the methodology the former is empirical and
inductive, while the latter is logical and deductive. The present
volume is a revamping of works by two authorities on Pareto. It
combines Alfonso de Pietri-Tonelli's address to the Italian
Association for Advancement of Science on the occasion of the tenth
anniversary of Pareto's death with selected chapters of Vilfredo
Pareto, sa vie et son oeuvre, Payot, Paris, 1928 by G.H. Bousquet.
