The Growth of the Italian Economy, 1820-1960 (New Studies in Economic and Social History) Book

In 1861, Italy was a poor, backward country compared with its neighbours to the north and west: most of its people were farmers relying on traditional techniques and ancient forms of organization to scratch a living. Few would have believed that within a century, the country would have become one of the largest industrial powerhouses, and its people among the wealthiest in the world. This book provides a brief, up-to-date account of the literature that chronicles this remarkable growth and structural change, emphasizing new views on old issues.Read More
