Mussolini's economic strategies?
Mussolini's economic strategies?
I'm trying to reenact a Fascist government in a PC game especially in economy.I read all I could from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of ... mic_policy but couldn't really understand.
a)Can somebody describe Mussolini's key point economic strategies in more simpler terms?
b)From that article,it seemed that Italy's economy was still a little bad under Mussolini so how did Italy survive on it's own before becoming an Axis power?Did Italy just take whatever it wanted from the colonies like Libya and Somalia to make up for what Italy lacked?
c)Did Italy manage to get minerals like iron from the Alps?I tried searching on this subject but it seems that they never mention anything about iron
Thanks in advance to anyone who anyone who answers.

Re: Mussolini's economic strategies?
If you can find it in a library "Mussolini and his generals" is a good source of info about the Italian economy and the farce that the army and navy were.
Re: Mussolini's economic strategies?
IMHO,this is an exaggeration.
Re: Mussolini's economic strategies?
Italy exported products and imported resources.
Colonies got more than they give back. There wasn't much, anything, that Libyan could give to Italy.

Re: Mussolini's economic strategies?
Except for a few hundred millions of barrels of oil. But Italy in the '30s had no expertise and not enough capital to really commit herself in full scale exploitation of the Lybian natural resources, that were mostly unknown to Italian authorities and private entrepreneurs. We believed the key for Lybia exploitation was to transform an arid, desert region into a farmland for Italian peasants!
Re: Mussolini's economic strategies?
Italy had a huge war debt after WW1.If the Italian economy didn't really improve under Fascism, doesn't that mean Italy would be bankrupt?How did Mussolini establish his foothold on Italy without having to pay back all those debts?
Re: Mussolini's economic strategies?
Who said the economy didn't improve? under Fascism and before it? In first Fascist Government the financial management was careful. After that was a Populist management that more or less arrived with 1929 world crisis.
This mean several private Banks and companies had be folded under Fascist Government.

More detailed in Italian http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRI
After this increase political class power allowed Fascist adventures of mid 30's(Spanish War, Colonial development, conquest) that started to put a heavy burden in the financial situation. At the end of 30's most economy was under Government control.

According to this page http://atlas.media.mit.edu/profile/country/ita/ Italy exported Refined Petroleum (5.2%), Packaged Medicaments (4.2%), Vehicle Parts (2.7%), Cars (2.0%), and Gold (1.9%) . But that is during modern times.What was Fascist Italy's main products back then?Did they export the same products?Did they export gold back then?Dili wrote:Who said the economy didn't improve? under Fascism and before it?

I tried doing a search using "Fascist Italy's products" but couldn't find anything.

Cars, trucks, weapons, aircrafts, military and civilian ships etc.
While searching we need to know what are the best words for it. Search Italy, Trade, Historical , 1939 etc. Trade, imports, exports are important keywords. Then give another keyword for historical reference.
