THE CATERPILLAR AND THE BUTTERFLY. AN EXEMPLARY CASE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE ITALY OF THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS

Giacomo Becattini

The microcosm, whose development is explored in this book, is that of a local comunity of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs and workers, who are to a great extent non-typical in current terms. This community is continually expanding but it also demonstrating that it possesses uncommon capacity for responding in unexpectedly innovative ways to the multiple challenges it faces due to the changes in its business environment, and especially in the word textile and garment market, the basis of its productive specialisation. It is a community that is changing profoundly through the evolution of, but not the rejection, some specific cultural characteristics.
