La nouvelle constitution économique - Paris : IIAP, juil./sept. 1993

The state-economy relationship in Italy can be briefly described as follows: a traditionnaly powerful and vast public sector: an essentially finalistic regulation of the economy, i.e. a control of complete sectors by public bodies according to government priorities. during the last twenty years, government intervention in the economy has shrunk as well in its extension as in its instensity. The privatisation of bodies and activities which were previously run by the public sector has been accompanied by a reshuffling of public control on private economic activities. Futhermore the process of european integration has led to a reduction of national regulations and to the introduction of uniform minimal rules for all economic actors
