With prices moving more slowly, Prime Minister Moro's government has recently enacted a $6 billion recovery program, and there is a good chance that the Italian economy will begin to climb slowly in mid-1976. The pace of any economic risorgimento will depend on two things: whether the often inefficient bureaucracy can get the expansionary program moving quickly...
