A monetary history of Italy

This volume deals with the monetary history of Italy from its independence in 1861 to 1991. It provides the first complete analysis of a country which has experienced diverse and often dramatic monetary conditions. Unlike the tradition of economic history in Italy where history is 'told' without reference to a specific interpretive framework and emphasises 'real' aspects in preference to nominal and monetary aspects, the authors adopt the opposite extreme of interpreting Italian monetary history through the looking glass of an economic model. Their interpretation is not entirely monetarist in flavour, but at the same time it is not wedded to a single model.
