The world's eighth largest economy has a unique shape and
structure. Characterized by strong social networks and a niche
capitalism built on successful small and medium-sized enterprises,
the Italian economy has a nature distinct from its European
neighbours. Vera Zamagni charts Italy's recent economic history
from the postwar years of reconstruction through to the present day
and the legacy of the financial crisis. Combining illustrative data
with qualitative analysis, she provides a clear and rigorous
presentation of the main features of the country's economy. The
country's regional imbalances, political instability and corruption
are situated alongside its strengths in social capital, its
flourishing industrial districts and its high ranking in well-being
indicators. Throughout, the contours of a much longer history are
shown to have shaped the contemporary economy as much as recent
trends, such as migration. The book provides a concise survey
suitable for a range of introductory readerships seeking to
understand the nature of recent Italian economic performance.
