Introduction to the Zambelli Festschrift
Kumaraswamy Velupillai
K. Velupillai (*)
Solna, Sweden
than one: Modena and EUI, of course, but also in Bologna, University of
California at Los Angeles (UCLA), National University of Ireland (NUI)
Galway, Aalborg and Trento. We corresponded, mostly to my intellectual
benefit, from and to, Madras and New Delhi, Copenhagen and Lund,
Belfast and Stockholm (in my retirement), using many of the modern
means of communication (in spite of my inadequate mastery of them).
Zambelli’s current CV and the Scheda Attivitá of the department of
economics at the University of Trento, give an ample ‘instantaneous pic-
ture’ (pace Keynes) of his intellectual contributions as of 2020, and both
documents can be accessed readily on the Internet. Let me add three—of
the many, possible—personal stories that I have had the privilege to share
with him.
After my resignation from the EUI, in 1985, I moved back to Sweden
(initially ‘unemployed’) and Zambelli, after graduation from the depart-
ment of economics at the University of Modena,1 took up employment
at the research department of the Banca Commerciale Italiana (BCI),
in Milan.2
I went back to Italy, in 1986, to see a Mantegna exhibition in Mantova,
in the company of Stefano. After seeing the fine exhibition of paintings
by Mantegna, we—Stefano and I—went to have lunch at a good restau-
rant in the central Piazza in the town of Mantova. During the excellent
lunch, we asked the waiter to show us the telephone, since I wanted to
make a call (I don’t remember to whom or where). The waiter asked us to
wait a little. We waited—and waited; no sign of the waiter—until he was
sighted again, about fifteen minutes later. We repeated our request, and
were asked by the waiter, to wait—again. After a further ten minutes, or
so, he turned up with what today would be called a mobile telephone!
Neither of us had ever seen such a gadget, ever before—and had no idea
how to operate it—and were too embarrassed to ‘display our ignorance’
of modern ‘invention of machines’ and gave it back to the waiter, politely!

Simultaneously, he was a member of the Macroeconomics and Monetary Policy Research Group
of the BCI, cooperating with Bocconi University.

The story of Lambretta can easily be accessed via the Internet. I should add that in distant
Colombo, where I grew up, the more ‘popular’ Italian post-war scooter was the Vespa.

I am sure he was not an admirer of Marinetti’s Italian futurism, and the machine age which it
extolled (and supported Mussolini’s fascism, of which Stefano was an implacable opponent—in spite
of the fact that Il Duce was born and buried in Predappio, a small town in the once ‘red’ region of
Emilia-Romagna).

receiving the Fondazione Pescarabruzzo prize for the Social Sciences
But the dynamic development [of the Treatise on Money], as distinct from
the instantaneous picture, was left incomplete and extremely confused.

1 Introduction to the Zambelli Festschrift 5
The Summarizing Notes of Sect. 6 tries to tie the threads together and
conclude—no doubt inadequately—the rich heritage of Zambelli’s inno-
vative and idiosyncratic approach to economic analysis (as I see it, in Sects.
2, 3, 4 and 5). Section 7 is a brief introduction to the essays in this book.

Not that there is always a pedagogical element in all of Zambelli’s writings!

However, it is not Wicksell’s Rocking Horse, many times Frisch’s incorrect allusion is invoked by
latter-day business cycle theorists (Zambelli 2007, fn. 4, p. 147).

THE SINGER’S CURSE.
In days of old a castle stood, it stood so haught and high,
Wide o’er the lands it shone to where the blue sea met the sky;
All round it lush flower-gardens a perfumed girdle made,
Wherein with radiance rainbow-arched reviving fountains played.
Sat there a proud king rich in spoil of war and rich in land,
Upon his ancient throne he sat so gaunt and grimly grand;
For all he thinks is Terror, and all he looks is Hate,
And all he speaks is Scourging, and all he writes is Fate.
Spake to the youth the old man, “My son, be strong to-day;
Our deepest songs remember, attune thy fullest lay;
Knit all the nerves of music, the joy, the pain, in one;
Our task it is to-day to touch the tyrant’s heart of stone.”
Now stand the singers twain within the lofty pillared house,
And high upon his throne the king sits with his royal spouse;
The king so fiercely splendid, like blood-red northern light,
But sweet and mild the queen as looks the full moon on the night.
Then smote the strings the old man right wondrously and well,
That full and fuller on the ear the tides of music swell;
And then angelically clear the young man’s voice did flow
In the elder’s pauses, like a choir of spirits, weird and low.
But at the high gate halting, the old man stands sublime,
His harp he seizes wildly, of harps the peerless prime;
Against a marble column he hath dashed its strength in twain,
Then cries aloud that garden and castle peal amain.
The old man’s voice hath pealed it, and Heaven hath heard on high;
The mighty walls are levelled, the halls in ruin lie;
One pillar lone and lofty still tells of vanished power;
Ev’n that is cloven, and may fall before the morning hour.
Shortly before his death Uhland wrote a little epigram on the death
of a young child, which it would be inexcusable to attempt to give in
any other language than the original, especially as it has not yet
appeared in any collected edition of his works.
AUF DEN TOD EINES KINDES.
Du kamst, du gingst mit leiser Spur,
Ein flücht’ger Gast in Erdenland
Woher? Wohin?—wir wissen nur
Aus Gottes Hand in Gottes Hand.
In these lines the childlike spirit of the old poet may have
conceived a fitting epitaph for himself, so calm and simple was his
life and death. But the “mit leiser Spur,” “with faint footfall,” could
not have been applied to his own case except by his own modesty;
for, unmistakably, if ever man did so, to use the language of his
admirer, Longfellow, Ludwig Uhland has left some very enduring
“footsteps on the sands of Time.”
