L’Italia repubblicana in cammino

This volume collects 12 essays on various aspects of politics, economics and law in republican Italy from the end of the Second World War to the early 1990s. In the first section, covering the period of post-war reconstruction, the contributions deal with women members of the Constituent Assembly, the debate on economic planning, and the downsizing of the federal Europe project. The following essays deal with the southern question, E. Mattei, the preparation of tax reform, wage demands in the 1970s and 1980s, and the attempts by E. Tarantelli and F. Vicarelli to propose an income policy. Finally, a number of legal and economic institutions are examined, such as ISTAT, the numerous interministerial committees and the various independent authorities through which the issue of economic democracy in a market economy system has been addressed.
