Success
Did Italy weather Depression better than most?
IRI set up to hep struggling businesses & banks.
OND probably most successful innovation - outlived regime
Success
Battle for grain helped grain producers. Battle for Marshes improved health & more land<
Development of new modern industries, electricity & chemicals etc
Where successes perhaps more to do with Fascist propaganda?
Failure
Corporate State. Most important innovation was an illusion/failure
Failure to achieve economic autarky. Italy was not prepared for war
Corporate State suppressed rather than resolved disputes & favoured industrialists
Failure
Economic policy subsidiary to Foreign policy, which unbalanced economy
Battle for LIRA was about prestige not sound economics
Agricultural failure. Battle for Grain led to other sectors to decline & high prices
Success of Mussolini's Economic Policies 1922-40?
