Italian term or phrase: deficit di formazione
Circa la natura del sistema politico-istituzionale che accompagnò l’ISI e dunque sull’implosione dei regimi nazional-populisti, A.O. Hirschman (1990, cit.) si poneva la domanda assai provocatoria se è la libertà che porta il progresso o se, viceversa, è il progresso che porta la libertà (ibid, p. 104). La sopravvalutazione delle monete nazionali nell’immediato dopoguerra penalizzò l’aggancio al mercato internazionale in un ciclo di ascesa dell’export. D’altronde, l’intangibilità degli interessi oligarchici e la non tassabilità di redditi rispettivi imposero il ricorso all’inflazione come metodo per trasferire reddito al settore industriale.La soluzione dirigista fu pertanto necessaria per colmare il deficit di formazione di una moderna borghesia industriale

Explanation:
this is not about education, although this convoluted faux sophisticated text might suggest otherwise. As an ex-professor of comparative economics I can detect a familiar point among the fog of fuzzy language

training needs/deficiencies


Explanation:
The plural "deficiencies" conveys more breadth or abstraction, which seems appropriate in this context, than the singular "deficiency" in this context.

For the verb, I suggest remedy or ameliorate, because a deficiency is removed, not filled.
