Download or read book Meritocracy Growth and Lessons from Italy s Economic Decline written by Lorenzo Codogno and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws lessons on the importance of meritocracy for economic growth by analysing Italy's economic decline in the past few decades. Connections, rather than merit, are a long-standing feature of the Italian elites, even in the corporate sector. This became a significant problem when Italy's economy could no longer grow due to imitation, devaluation, and public debt, and faced the challenges of becoming a frontier knowledge-based open economy. This book uses international comparisons on social capital, governance, the role of the public sector, efficiency of the judiciary, education, gender and social inequality, social mobility, corporate standards, financial structures, and more to evaluate Italy's economic performance. It argues that the arrogance of mediocracy is more damaging than that of meritocracy. Italy experienced an economic miracle after the Second World War, and it is still an advanced economy and a member of the G7. Until the 1960s it seemed destined to catch up with the best-performing countries. Then the growth engine stopped, its debt skyrocketed, and Italy became a weaker member of the Eurozone. Many other countries in the world have heavy historical legacies and low social capital, and many others have to make the jump from imitation led growth to endogenous growth. The lessons drawn from studying Italy's case can therefore have important international applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1945 Italy found itself in austere conditions, with 3,000 billion damages suffered from the war. Most of the industrial plants are saved, but the production of 1945 collapses by 29% compared to 1938. Heavy damage to the transport system. Over one and a half million unemployed. Raw materials are lacking, and people suffer from hunger. There is American aid, but it is about launching an organic economic reorganisation plan to restore production levels in 1938. A difficult task, especially in an atmosphere dominated by strong social tensions. These are difficult years characterised by great vitality, by a deep desire to resume a normal life after the horrors of the war. In 1950, the trade balance showed a positive balance for the first time after the war. After reconstruction, the development phase begins. Ciociaria is the prime example of the Italian resurrection.
Download or read book Reframing Italian Economic History 1861 2021 written by Nicola Rossi and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2024-10-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the development of the Italian economy over the 150 years since unification, integrating economic analysis with an economic and social history of Italian society. The book challenges several key assumptions about the growth of the Italian economy, including the notion that Italy has ‘caught up’ with its main Western partners and arguing that in long-run perspective the Italian economy has performed disappointingly. In particular, the book highlights how the role of cultural values, beliefs and preferences are just as important as institutions and institutional change in explaining the trajectory of the economy, arguing that a widespread ‘growth-averse’ culture exists in Italian society that diverges from the dominant market paradigms of the Western world. Rather than treating the twenty years after WWII – the period of rapid growth known as Italy’s ‘economic miracle’ years – as an indicator of Italy’s success, the author analyses these years as an anomaly where capitalist processes like creative destruction and innovism were briefly permitted to flourish. The book draws out key questions, for example exploring why institutional reforms have not led to sustained rates of growth, and why other markers of quality of life have improved in Italy while economic performance has remained slow. This book will be a fascinating read for scholars of economics and economic history, as well as non-specialist readers looking for a comprehensive understanding of Italian socio-economic conditions since the country's unification.

Download or read book Economic Growth in Europe Since 1945 written by N. F. R. Crafts and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-04-18 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling volume re-examines the topic of economic growth in Europe after the Second World War. The contributors approach the subject armed not only with new theoretical ideas, but also with the experience of the 1980s on which to draw. The analysis is based on both applied economics and on economic history. Thus, while the volume is greatly informed by insights from growth theory, emphasis is given to the presentation of chronological and institutional detail. The case study approach and the adoption of a longer-run perspective than is normal for economists allow new insights to be obtained. As well as including chapters that consider the experience of individual European countries, the book explores general European institutional arrangements and historical circumstances. The result is a genuinely comparative picture of post-war growth, with insights that do not emerge from standard cross-section regressions based on the post-1960 period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume offers a definitive new history of European economies at war from 1914 to 1918.

Leading international experts provide the first systematic comparison of economies at war between 1914 and 1918 based on the best available data for Britain, Germany, France, Russia, the USA, Italy, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and the Netherlands.

This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Oxford Handbook provides a fresh overall view and interpretation of the modern economic growth of one of the largest European countries, whose economic history is less known internationally than that of other comparably large and successful economies. It will provide, for the first time, a comprehensive, quantitative "new economic history" of Italy. The handbook offers an interpretation of the main successes and failures of the Italian economy at a macro level, the research--conducted by a large international team of scholars --contains entirely new quantitative results and interpretations, spanning the entire 150-year period since the unification of Italy, on a large number of issues. By providing a comprehensive view of the successes and failures of Italian firms, workers, and policy makers in responding to the challenges of the international business cycle, the book crucially shapes relevant questions on the reasons for the current unsatisfactory response of the Italian economy to the ongoing "second globalization." Most chapters of the handbook are co-authored by both an Italian and a foreign scholar.
