The course (divided into two inseparable modules) aims to provide students with the methodological tools and the fundamental categories to understand the relationships between institutions, law and economics at national, European and global level. Starting from a theoretical reconstruction of the different models of "economic constitution", the course aims to analyze their evolution within the various forms of state: from the absolute state, to the liberal state up to today's democratic-social state. In particular, the first module of the course will deepen the Italian economic constitution, also in its historical evolution, evaluating its changes due to the European integration process, focused on the construction of the single market with the related economic freedoms of circulation and the freedom of competition.
