Chapter Chapter 6 in Work in Early Modern Italy, 1500–1800, 2019, pp 131-142 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Finally, the last chapter aims to put the Italian case in the broader European context; in particular, the Early Modern period is well known for the so-called little divergence. The Italian peninsula is one of the most interesting case studies from this point of view, because it was one of the leading economic areas in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, reaching the nineteenth century as one of the most underdeveloped economies of Europe. Did the occupational structures in the various regions of Italy affect this process? Or, at least, are their changes a symptom of the changes and the deterioration of the Italian economy?
