Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Terenzio Cozzi, an economist who was an important exponent of the Cambridge neo-Keynesian school in Italy. The paper traces his education at the Catholic University in Milan and then at Cambridge University, where he obtained a PhD in economics developing Pasinetti’s structural dynamics model, and his academic career in Italy at the University of Turin, and presents his theoretical work mainly devoted to growth theory, his manuals on political economy, a landmark of non-mainstream undergraduate and post-graduate education in particular in the late 1980s and 1990s, as well as his important institutional activity.
