add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the economic development in Europe, of which Italy is politically and strategically an important part. Italy today has 2,000,000 jobless, 10 per cent of its labor force. This is the highest proportion in Europe and more than double what it was in the Fascist period. Conditions in Italy have changed more radically since the end of the war than people in the U.S. realize. The people no longer believe in the inevitability of unemployment. The Economic Cooperation Administration (ECA) mission in Italy has proposed a different approach. Leon Dayton, head of ECA told the Italian government that full employment must be Italy's first goal.
