Maffeo Pantaleoni (Italian:[mafˌfɛːopantaleˈoːni]; 2 July 1857 – 29 October 1924) was anItalianeconomist. Born inFrascati, at first he was a notable proponent ofneoclassical economics. Later in his life, before and duringWorld War I, he became an ardentItalian nationalist andsyndicalist, with close ties to theItalian fascism movement.[1] He was Minister of Finance in theCarnaro government ofGabriele D'Annunzio atFiume, which lasted for fifteen months between 1919 and 1920. Shortly before his death inMilan, he was elected to theItalian Senate.
Pantaleoni was a major contributor to the Italian school of economics known as La Scienza delle Finanze. His bookTeoria della Traslazione dei Tributi (Theory of Tax Shifting) is a pioneering study oftax incidence. According toNobel Prize winnerJames M. Buchanan, Pantaleoni and his followers (such asAntonio de Viti de Marco andVilfredo Pareto) can be considered the intellectual forefathers of the modernpublic choice theory.[2]
Maffeo's great-grandniece is American actressTéa Leoni.
