Mussolini’s economic battle for the Lira was a failure, although it did have a few positive outcomes. The battle for the Lira was where Mussolini made the Lira artificially expensive- by fixing the Lira at 90 to £, rather than 150.

However, in reality it made it hard for Italy to sell abroad (due to the higher prices), so Italy lost its competitiveness on the world market.

By having this introduced, it increases the private cost of consumption or production. This may then reduce the demand and the output for the particular product which causes these negative externalities. Another reason that taxation is effective is because it can encourage producers to produce less and get better value products through the use of recycling and composting. This also affects the supply curve, shifting it to the left which also increases the price of the factors of production to create those products.
