Product Description This volume deals with the monetary history of Italy from independence in 1861 to 1992. It provides the first complete analysis of a country that has experienced diverse and often dramatic monetary conditions. The book contributes in a novel way not only to the monetary debate, but also to fiscal and institutional questions. The authors combine economic theory, statistical data, and history in an accessible way that should prove useful to both economic historians and monetary economists. | ||

Good source of information for coin collectors. In depth look at Italy's monetary policy, including historical account of events that shaped monetary policy. Verbatim translation of Mussolini's speech on foreign exchange rates of particular interest. Covers financial scandals, reforms, etc. Somewhat academic approach, but still a readable book without too much latin chest thumping by the authors. | ||
