QUEL CHE LA LIBERTÀ E IL DIRITTO DI BRUNO LEONI PUÒ (ANCORA) INSEGNARE AL COSTITUZIONALISTA
Abstract
This article examines Bruno Leoni’s Freedom and the Law and its relevance for contemporary constitutionalism. It highlights Leoni’s critique of legislative positivism, his defense of spontaneous legal order, and his skepticism toward political representation. The analysis explores tensions in his thought, such as the role of legislation and state power in maintaining market stability. Engaging with the thought-provoking ideas of scholars like Bobbio and Luciani, the paper underscores Leoni’s enduring insights into judicial power, liberty, and the limits of state intervention.
