Mario Draghi: In memory of Enzo Grilli Memorial lecture by Mr Mario Draghi, Governor of the Bank of Italy and Chairman of the Financial Stability Board, at the Johns Hopkins University, Bologna, 21 February 2011. * 1. *  *  Introduction  Enzo was not a neoclassical economist, or a Keynesian one, a conservative or a liberal.
What I miss most is Enzo’s tendency to challenge intellectual clichés and fads, which made every conversation with him a learning and eye opening experience. He was a truly independent minded person and scholar, passionate at defending his opinions but ready to accept others’ points of view, if based on sound economic thinking or empirical research.
