ORIZZONTI DEL DIRITTO DELL’ECONOMIA: UN’INTRODUZIONE OGGETTO, METODO, DOTTRINE

In recent times the debate around the object and method of economic law has been enriched by a series of scientific essays, opinions and interventions by scientific communities that stimulate us to offer another point of view. The opportunity is also fruitful to test the state of the art of the relationship between law and economics and, in particular, to account for the ways in which economic law fits into the governance of complexities. In this essay we aim to provide an overview of the different doctrinal positions on the meaning attributed to economic law as an autonomous legal discipline, with its own identity roots. This is a short survey of some of the theories which, even historically, allows us to provide information on the birth, diffusion and characteristics of economic law. Indeed, a path to be explored further through subsequent studies on doctrinal positions which will certainly not fail to enrich the cultural debate in an open perspective free from prejudice or bureaucratic positioning. Ultimately, we try to outline the lines of thought of part of the European doctrine as a point of reference for the subsequent arguments. There are common elements and a communion of cultural and scientific directions which are believed to be useful in addressing a legal discussion on the roots and, indeed, the horizons of the economic law. A discussion that cannot be considered as exhausted with apodictic statements or with the raising of barriers or with the drawing of borders, but with open and constructive discussion based on reasonable and demonstrated argumentative bases
