Dove va l'economia italiana?

This paper deals with the issue of the prospects for the Italian economy and its entry into the monetary union in Europe. The Europe is therefore the topic of the moment. In particular, the paper is an analysis of the volume edited by Jader Jacobelli (2000), which in turn contains the contributions of twenty economists presented at the forum of the Economy at the Cultural Centre Saint-Vincent. The topics discussed are: growth, employment, welfare, banks, tourism, and the global economy.
