Paolo Alberto Brera, an Italian novelist, journalist, economist, and translator, is the third son of writer Gianni Brera and teacher Rina Gramegna.

Brera obtained a degree in Political Economy from Milan's Bocconi University,[2] where later on he was Assistant Professor of Economic History (1974-1978). In 1977 he spent a few months at Poznań's Economic Academy as a visiting scholar. From 1978 to 1981 he worked at the Italian subsidiary of the French oil company Total, exporting oil products and pursuing his research programme as a side occupation. Until 1985 he was a member of the Italian Socialist Party's (PSI) Economic Commission.

Brera researched the planned economies of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe,[3] publishing some fifty works in specialized journals.[4] He was a member of the Association Internationale des Économistes de Langue Française (International Association of French-Language Economists) and submitted papers on Eastern Europe at the NATO Headquarters in Bruxelles and in Rome.

Later, Brera became a journalist at Critica Sociale, Italia Oggi and Il Secolo XIX. He has contributed articles to Labour Weekly, Exormissi, Die Neue Gesellschaft,[5] Corriere della Sera, L'Avanti, Tages Anzeiger, Corriere del Ticino, Panorama, Mondo economico, and others. In 1989 and 1990 he was editor-in-chief of the Italian edition of the Russian journal Moskovskie Novosti.[6] From 1998 to 2002 he edited and published the magazine Brera,[7] devoted to the Brera district of Milan.[8]
