This fascinating telegram reveals Mussolini`s attitude towards the Italian banking crisis of the 1920`s. In a course of events remarkably similar to that which took place in the United States in the late 2000s, Italian banks had engaged in various irresponsible banking practices. This malfeasance, combined with sluggish state of the Italian economy in the immediate aftermath of WW I, had necessitated State intervention to stabilize financial institutions that were deemed `too big to fail`.
