`Stefano Zamagni, 51, is considered a world expert on economics and
recently even became a consultant to the anti-Mafia agency of the
Italian government. Considered one of Italy's most brilliant
economists.'
*Paul Bompard, Times Higher Education Supplement*
'a nicely written and stimulating account of the progress of the
Italian economy since unification ... As well as serving as an fine
synthesis of recent writing in Italian economic historiography, the
book also bears witness to the enormous and varied output of its
author over the last two decades ... thoughtful and wide-ranging
analysis, replete with excellent data ... European economic
historians will surely welcome this book with open arms.'
*Joseph Harrison, University of Manchester, Economic History
Society 1995*
It is a remarkable transformation; the energy of its historiography
has matched that of the country's development ... the work is rich
in information about the sectoral development of manufacturing,
copiously illustrated from the history of major companies. It also
deals comprehensively with the convoluted history of the banking
sector ... infused with Professor Zamagni's indefatigable and
attractive enthusiasm for her subject and seasoned with much lively
personal commentary. It can be highly recommended and should go in
several copies on to library shelves.
*Business History*
The most welcome translation of Professor Zamagni's Dalla periferia
al centro ... makes available to the broader English-speaking
community a text that reviews the current literature with
unexceptionable thoroughness, and presents even the interpretations
that differ from the author's own with admirable fair-mindedness.
The publisher andthe author are both to be commended for producing
this much-needed book; with periodic revisions to keep it up to
date, it should serve for a generation.
*Journal of Modern Italian Studies*
