In accordance with the fashion of the time, Del Vecchio applied the Darwinian law of natural selection to the state: experience demonstrates that a government which dissipates the national wealth will be necessarily overwhelmed by other governments, which on the contrary show ability in public administration as occurs in enterprises (1924, p. 42). Thus, a first constraint on public activity was the social and political assent that allows the government to act. Consequently, economic policy is not the outcome of the public subject alone, but is also the result of community decisions approving or disapproving of the government‘s.

Let us now examine Amoroso‘s model in detail. His analysis departed from an initial state of ‗activism‘ (phase one) in the system (see Figure 1). Prices, output and the discount rate were rising inexorably, so their respective curves sloped upwards. However, the price trend actually conflicted with the upward direction of the other curves. When output rose, prices should have fallen, just as they should have fallen when the rate of interest rose (according to the law of income capitalization). Here, however, prices went up, at least up to a certain point.

As a result, prices increased once more, heralding the start of the recovery (the fifth phase). In the production sector, rising prices were inconsistent with the low level of output and falling interest rates. A u-turn marked the start of an expansionary phase (phase six). The abundance of money characteristic of this phase lasted until the expansion absorbed the new monetary savings. Despite the falling interest rate and the reactions brought about by rising prices and growing output in the banking system, when the conflict reached a critical point the money curve turned down also (Rossi, 1963, p.
