Pietro Custodi (29 November 1771 – 15 May 1842) was an Italian economiist and journalist.
Biography
Born near Novara, Custodi was by profession a lawyer, but soon entered into journalism and directed the newspaper Amico della libertà Italiana. Custodi was arrested by Napoleon but freed after the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy and appointed secretary-general of the finance department in Milan. Later he was made a baron and became a state councilor.
Custodi continued Pietro Verri's History of Milan; as an economist he is widely known as the editor of a collection of the principal Italian economists in fifty volumes.
Works
His greatest contribution to economics was the compilation of 50 volumes of Italian essays and articles on political economy, Scrittori classici italiani di economia politica (1803-16). Many of these papers, written from the earliest times to the beginning of the 19th century, had not been published before. In 1824 Custodi founded a magazine, Italian Economic Review, which was discontinued in 1871.
