Accounting and Government of the Agricultural Economy of the Nation: Arrigo Serpieri and the Reclamation Consortia Reform Drawing on primary sources gathered in Rome, Bologna and Abruzzo archives, this paper - underpinned by the Foucauldian governmentality framework (Foucault, 1991) - analyses the accounting, administrative, calculative and governmental practices deployed as a consequence of the Reclamation Consortia reform triggered by Arrigo Serpieri, who - during Mussolini government - was acting as undersecretary of the State at the Agricultural Ministry. In a scenario stimulated by the ascent of the broad fascist discourse on the Agricultural Economy of the Nation, this study seeks to show the new technologies of government inculcated within the State and local communities through the Reclamation Consortia Reform which, according to Mussolini words, ought to have provided «bread and land to millions of Italians from that time onwards». The paper unveils also the leading role in the change process - of both the State and the local communities - played by Arrigo Serpieri, the most important agricultural government’s expert of the time, as well as a prolific writer on accounting, economy/political economy, applied to the agriculture of the Italian Nation.
Keywords: Accounting, Agriculture Corporative Economy, Fascism, Governmentality, Technology of government.
