Abstract
This paper aims at discussing the causes and the effects of the disappearance of Marxism in teaching and reasearch in Italian Universities, with particular reference to political economy. It will be argued that this phenomenon is linked to the restructuring of the Italian capitalism and, particularly, to a political demand – on the part of firms – of applied research and the espulsion of the political and critical dimension from the economic thinking.
Keywords: Marxism, Italian University, Italian capitalism.
