English abstract
This article explores how central banks in Italy and Britain became involved with industry after 1918, and sets to compare the origins of public intervention in industry in an attempt to see to what extent it was spurred by ideological factors or else by deflation and austerity after the end of the conflict. One important conclusion here is that intervention resulted less from the alleged weaknesses of one specific financial system than from the over-expansion of the heavy industries which had to be salvaged in both countries for military and other reasons.
