Italian term or phrase: L'aver plasmato
"L’aver plasmato le istituzioni economiche a propria immagine e somiglianza, per il proprio uso e consumo, farà sì che le istituzioni economiche estrattive arricchiranno l’oligarchia politica che le ha rese possibili, la quale potrà in questo modo consolidare il proprio potere politico, grazie alle risorse economiche provenienti da quelle istituzioni economiche estrattive."

My attempt:

"Having shaped the economic institutions in its own image and likeness, for its own use and consumption, causes the extractive economic institutions to enrich the political oligarchy that has made them possible, which can in this way consolidate its own political power, thanks to the economic resources coming from those extractive economic institutions."

This does not work, however, I think, because what should follow "Having shaped" is something like "the political oligarchy [does X or Y]". However, I could be wrong. Opinions?

If I am correct in my doubt, can anyone come up with a way to formulate this sentence that is grammatically correct?

Thanks,

In this case I would opt for gerund because a future follows.
