Specialist Notes
First edition of Palmieri's last political-economic work , published shortly before his death and which became his most important work. "As a minister of an absolute monarchy, he wanted to proceed with great caution in the reform of abuses." In 1787, he became a member of the Supreme Council of Finance of the Kingdom of Naples, a council he assumed leadership of in 1791, two years before his death. A strong supporter of the overthrow of the feudal regime, he promoted laws for grain and other food supplies (ration laws) and reforms of codes and institutions, as well as the development of the road network of the Kingdom of Naples. During these years of government activity, he collaborated with another prominent representative of the Neapolitan Enlightenment, Gaetano Filangieri.
