Italy's Economic History
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing Italy's economic before and after
its 19th century unification, the effects of world wars, fascism and Italy's economic
development during the last half of the 20th century. It has been common for business
places to completely close at lunch and for businesses to be small enough to require very
little help from outside the family. Until the pressures and rewards of globalization became
apparent in Italy, there was little reason to change the patterns that have been in place for
nearly a century. Businesses in other industrialized nations create jobs, greater discretionary
income for workers and a greater need for support businesses. Such has not been the case
in Italy, but that situation may at last be about to change. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
