Abstract

[eng] Abstract This study aims to present several additional factors concerning analyses which have favored a macro-economic approach. The continuing expansion of the railway system from 1861 to 1870 did not provide an occasion for the development of national production. From 1885-1890, after a period of reduced investments largely due to government hesitations, the Italian economy was increasingly able to respond to the demand for railways. As a result of its efforts, the peninsula possessed, on the eve of 1914, the technical knowledge and the production capacity soon put to profit by the arm's and other industrial sectors. [fre] Résumé Cette étude a pour but d'apporter quelques éléments complémentaires aux analyses qui, jusqu'à maintenant, ont favorisé l'approche macro-économique. L'extension assez soutenue du réseau ferroviaire de 1861 à 1870 n'a pas constitué une opportunité favorable au développement de la production nationale. C'est seulement à partir des années 1885-1890, après une phase de ralentissement des investissements due, en grande partie, aux atermoiements de l'Etat, que l'économie italienne fut de plus en plus capable de répondre à la demande ferroviaire. Les efforts accomplis furent nombreux et, à la veille de 1914, la Péninsule disposait d'un savoir-faire et d'une capacité de production qu'elle a pu utiliser au profit de l'industrie de l'armement et d'autres secteurs industriels.
