Italy's Economic History

Abstract: 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.
