Private vices vs public virtues: taxation and meat market in Taranto between 19th and 20th centuries. This essay aims at investigating the conflicting relationship between the governance guidelines of a Southern municipal administration, which is dutifully attentive to meeting the primary needs for subsistence of the weakest segments of its population, but which is also forced to act within an unbalanced and constraining tax and budgetary structure, and the antithetical interests of profit-minded local economic operators. The outcome of such contraposition is the continuous, necessarily ever-evolving search for balance, whose functioning mechanisms are the main object of this investigation. The specific case study, investigated in its various aspects, is that of the meat market in the town of Taranto which, despite its uniqueness, represents well the social and economic dynamics of a Southern community projected into the new and uncertain post-unitary dimension.
Il saggio mira ad investigare il rapporto conflittuale tra gli indirizzi di governo di un’amministrazione municipale meridionale doverosamente attenta al soddisfacimento delle primarie esigenze di sostentamento delle fasce più deboli della popolazione, ma costretta ad agire all’interno di una squilibrata e vincolante struttura fiscale e di bilancio, e gli antitetici interessi di operatori economici locali guidati dalle logiche del profitto. Il risultato di questa contrapposizione è la continua ricerca di un equilibrio, necessariamente in continua evoluzione, i cui meccanismi di funzionamento costituiscono l’oggetto principale dell’indagine. Il caso specifico di studio è quello del mercato della carne, declinato nei suoi vari aspetti, in una cittadina, Taranto, che pur nella sua unicità ben rappresenta le dinamiche socio-economiche di una comunità meridionale proiettata nella nuova ed incerta dimensione post unitaria.

Abstract
Private vices vs public virtues: taxation and meat market in Taranto between 19th and 20th centuries. This essay aims at investigating the conflicting relationship between the governance guidelines of a Southern municipal administration, which is dutifully attentive to meeting the primary needs for subsistence of the weakest segments of its population, but which is also forced to act within an unbalanced and constraining tax and budgetary structure, and the antithetical interests of profit-minded local economic operators. The outcome of such contraposition is the continuous, necessarily ever-evolving search for balance, whose functioning mechanisms are the main object of this investigation. The specific case study, investigated in its various aspects, is that of the meat market in the town of Taranto which, despite its uniqueness, represents well the social and economic dynamics of a Southern community projected into the new and uncertain post-unitary dimension.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
