Wars, Depression, and Fascism
This paper presents yearly estimates of income inequality in Italy from 1901 to 1950. By constructing dynamic social tables, we comprehensively assess inequality across all elements of Italian society and compare Italy with other countries over the same period. In a context of declining inequality across Europe, interwar Italy reveals a trajectory at odds with consolidated narratives: a sharp increase of inequality during World War I, a reversal …

The 1918 Influenza Pandemic and the Rise of Italian Fascism
Evidence linking past experiences of worsening health with support for radical political views has generated concerns about the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The influenza pandemic that began in 1918 had a devastating health impact: 4.1 million Italians contracted influenza and about 500 000 died. We tested the hypothesis that deaths from the 1918 influenza pandemic contributed to the rise of Fascism in Italy. To provide a “thicker” inte…
The Kuznets Curve in Brazil, 1850-2010
Using social tables and modern household surveys, this article explores Brazil's income distribution from a historical perspective (1850-2010), examining its relationship with economic development and the factors driving inequality changes. It shows that Brazil's inequality was not always high, but rather followed a Kuznets curve, increasing from the early 20 th century, reaching a high plateau between the 1970s and 1990s and declining thereafter…
Inequality in turbulent times
Using social tables, this article provides new data on inequality in Germany and Britain on an annual basis for the first half of the twentieth century. Inequality trends in these two countries tended to follow opposite patterns. The decline in inequality in Germany was interrupted during the First World War and the Nazi period, while in Britain the reversal took place between the end of the First World War and the Great Depression. Results show …
