Mussolini wanted Italy to survive on self-sufficiency -which wasn’t surprising for a nationalist country. Mussolini wanted Italy to produce for itself all its major needs. Mussolini did this by increased control on currency, quotas on imports, increased tariff production, the search for new energy sources. However, the reality was not as good as Mussolini wanted. There were virtually no coal supplies, prices increased, some industries hit and the domestic production was only one fifth of what was needed.
Another key reason behind the fall of the Republic was the influx of slaves and money, which the new found conquering brought to Rome. Of equal importance was the individualism which arose in government which allowed Pompey and more like him to seek individual power rather than to work for the benefit of the Republic.

Moreover, by 1925, Mussolini has established a number of laws and controls that were effectively enforced by the Police and OVRA. This grip over Italy pleased the Italian people, as they felt united under the dictatorship. However, when Mussolini came to power in 1922, he had no experience in the area of foreign policy. This left Mussolini with a problem; he wanted to make Italy a big European player and in order to do this he needed to follow an imperialist line of policy – something which he did not know how to do, apart from his usual tactic of being the statesman he was. Up to 1935, foreign policy had been largely reactive rather than aggressive as Mussolini felt that Italy was not strong enough in order to persue the line of foreign policy Mussolini desired.

at the end of the Punic Wars (Google.com Timeline). In 256 B.C. Rome destroyed Carthage’s fleet, and pursued their enemy in their home in Africa (Bing, 2006). During the Punic war against Carthage, Rome captured provinces (Sardinia, Corsica, and Sicily) around 241 B.C. (Roman-Empire.net).
A key reason for this move toward autarky was that it would prepare Italy for a large war, if you don’t have any imports you therefore cant have your supplies cut of which is obviously important in a large scale war. This would be a good plan apart from the fact that Italy had to import fertiliser in order to grow the grain; this therefore shows just how superficial this policy was. Propaganda in Italy at the time would have tried to show how the production of many goods was increasing thus creating the self-sufficient state however this was little more than publicity as this dream of Mussolini was simply

He is thinking of the common good and not the personal convenience.
