Abstract: Abstract From the beginning of the 1950s to 1963, Italy experienced rapid economic development and eventually declared the external convertibility of its currency with the major European nations in 1958. In this period, Italy participated in the Bretton Woods system and the European integration process. In this chapter, we will review how the Bretton Woods system infected and restricted the economic policy management of the member countries by examining the Italian experience.
