historical conditions can work as well, or even better, in different historical circumstances. A company is a vital organism, operating in an ever-changing context, in which other actors and factors (politics, international ties, and relative availability of resources) sometimes have a determining role. In spite of their influence, however, such factors cannot always explain the successes of a country like Italy. Looking inside the universe of the individual enterprises—and their historical changes— and trying to understand how and why one entrepreneur attains success at one point and leaves the scene at another may increase our understanding of the entire country. Those interested in both the Italian economy and in enterprises in an international context will find new reasons for reflection in Amatori and Colli’s volume. The study will help answer many recurring questions about the performance of the Italian economic system.
