The economic history of Italy, 1860-1990
The Economic History of Italy 1860-1990 gives a scholarly and authoritative account of Italy's progress from a rural economy to an industrialized nation. This book provides an interpretative account of the economic history of Italy since the unification of 1861 and offers an extensive resource of quantitative data, based on original field work by the author and the many detailed but small scale studies existing in Italian. Professor Zamagni has made a broad division of the period into three parts: the take-off (1860-1913), the consolidation in the midst of two wars and world depression (1914-47), and the great expansion (1948-90). She has produced a wide-ranging account of agriculture, trade, banking, public intervention, standard of living, and education
