Description

La tarda industrializzazione registrata da nazioni come Italia e Spagna, a partire dalla seconda metà del XIX secolo, si è realizzata in un contesto opposto a quello che secondo Allen (2001, 2009, 2013) permise la trasformazione tecnologica che portò alla Rivoluzione Industriale in Gran Bretagna a partire dalla metà del 1700. Bassi salari e disponibilità di lavoro non qualificato, da un lato, e alto costo dell’energia con scarsità di carbone e di capitale umano, dall’altro lato, potrebbero aver influenzato la creazione di innovazione con conseguenti effetti sul processo di industrializzazione e crescita economica nel sud dell’Europa.
