Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the life and career of Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, whose political leadership and economic reforms fundamentally transformed 19th-century Italy. Amid the aftermath of Italian defeat in the war of independence, and with the nation burdened by impossibly high war reparations, this book charts the almost single-handed modernization of the struggling Piedmont-Sardinia kingdom. The author shows how Cavour, a skilled agriculturalist and economist, began by implementing innovative farming practices to bolster the Piedmontese economy, leading to his entrance into politics and his ultimate premiership in 1852. While in office, Cavour reformed Piedmont's tariff and excise systems, eradicated corruption, promoted public works such as railways and roads, and created a fairer tax structure, thus propelling Piedmont into an era of economic, social, and industrial growth. This book provides a unique insight into the development of modern Italy through the lens of the man who played a pivotal role in shaping its destiny.
