Full Description
Observing Agriculture describes how Italian agricultural economists collected information about the economy of Italy between the Giolittian and the Fascist era. Practices of observation developed together with agricultural economics as a discipline and as a profession during this period and the study of these forms of investigation sheds light on the constitution of a coherent and self-conscious group of agricultural economists in Italy, and the scientific and methodological alliances they forged with agricultural economists elsewhere in Europe. Thanks to ambitious research projects Ghino Valenti in the Giolittian period, and Arrigo Serpieri after the First World War, led the transformation of Italian agricultural economists from agents of estate owners, to social and economic experts in the service of the Italian state.The group of agricultural economists who gathered around Serpieri played an important role in supplying the ideology of agricultural elites with economic content, especially after the First World War, along lines that resemble the development of agrarian ideologies in other countries of Central Europe. Three main forms of economic observation - enquiries, statistics, and farm surveys - are investigated to demonstrate the two-way relationship between the observer and the observed in the co-production of observational knowledge.
