'Il mosaico di concezioni filosofiche, politiche ed economiche in cui si inquadra la battaglia di Jefferson viene puntualmente ricostruito da Manuela Albertone, una delle piA(1) prestigiose studiose dell'UniversitA di Torino, che da molti anni si dedica a quella complessa A storia atlanticaA che guarda all'intreccio del Nuovo e del Vecchio mondo ... mi pare rilevante notare come questa sia stata pubblicata direttamente in inglese presso l'autorevole collana di storia economica e sociale dell'etA moderna dell'editore anglo-americano Ashgate. A dimostrazione che il A commercio delle ideeA (per usare il sottotitolo del volume) tra vecchia Europa e giovane America continua tutt'oggi.' Corriere della Sera ['The mosaic of philosophical, political and economic notions in which Jefferson's battle is framed is carefully reconstructed by Manuela Albertone, one of the leading scholars of the University of Turin, who for many years has devoted her research to the complex Atlantic history that looks at the interweaving of the New and Old World ... It seems relevant to note that this book was published directly in English by the authoritative Anglo-American publisher Ashgate, in their Modern Economic and Social History Series. Proof that the commerce of ideas (to use the subtitle of the volume) between old Europe and young America still continues today.'] Corriere della Sera 'This is a valuable assessment of the impact of French economic thought in the USA for a period in which work usually focuses on British influence.'
