Il primo taking off. Alle origini della crescita agraria italiana. Una riflessione sugli anni Ottanta dell’Ottocento

The problem of the initiation of agrarian growth, which had affected by historiography in the first decade of the second half of the twentieth century, began to attract new attention within the debate between historians and economists, thus paving the way for further epistemological interpretations. This study, starting from a literature review, aims at the identification of the fundamental elements of the Italian agriculture’s taking off during the 80s of the 19th Century.
