At the time of unification in 1861, much of the country was backward, poor, and agrarian: few would have believed that a hundred years later Italy would become one of the seven largest industrial countries, its people among the wealthiest in the world. This process of development and structural change has generated an enormous and evolving literature, alive with controversies and compelling insights. New research and reinterpretation of existing data have led to a reevaluation of the nature of Italian Dualism, while revisions to national income accounts are modifying the traditional picture of economic growth. Jon Cohen and Giovanni Federico provide a concise, up-to-date account of this literature, highlighting new views on old issues, and signalling areas in need of further research. 410 0$aNew studies in economic and social history ;$v44. 607 $aItaly$xEconomic conditions$y19th century 607 $aItaly$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 676 $a338.945/009/034 700 $aCohen$b Jon S.$0124153 702 $aFederico$b Giovanni$f1954- 712 02$aEconomic History Society, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824797803321 996 $aThe growth of the Italian economy, 1820-1960$93947577 997 $aUNINA
