At least for the title of the book >Rakesh mentions, she's interested in the question of "equilibrium". > As far as I know, she is Associate Professor in Rome. The book is a very interesting criticism of the neoclassical notion of equilibrium. Israel at the time was her husband. Bruna is the daughter of a very old, and very important, leader of the Communist Party after the II World War (he was the referent for the internal left, but he never broke with the party). After the dissolution of the PCI, he didn't entered in the Refounded Communists, but he is left of the DS (the old communists turned moderate). When I met Bruna, I realised that she was not definitely 'left', as I supposed (she voted at the time for the Repubblican Party. She should be in the same Department with Roncaglia and Marcuzzo. > >P.S. I saw on the news that Torino is flooded. Are you OK?? yes. I even succeded in going into my University, which is in Bergamo (173 km away), leaving Turin on sunday noon before the flood blocked all the highways, and I came back today, when the situation is calm again. But I had to travel on a much longer route (250 km), and this will happen for at least a month - the direct highway Torino-Milano is broken, and need reparation. I do not live near the river Po, so my area is safe, and anyway the flood is at present approaching Venice, but the rain stopped and it seems there will be no dramatic new problems in Italy's North-East. The only problem at my house is that water is rationed (but, you know, I have Sicilian parents, and this is normal there!). There are areas which have been hit very hard. In all the North-West of Italy there have been about 20 deaths. riccardo P.S.: BTW, since you read italian, you may find interesting this site: http://www.larivistadelmanifesto.it P.S.2: some time ago, before summer, I eventually had news of the book on Tugan you searched, and wrote to you, but the message came back. Are you still interested?
