Description:

This book explains Italyrs"s endless political instability and its historical, cultural and economic roots. It also illustrates why, even after the creation of the Italian state, Italy was never really unified. Piero Gobetti described fascism once as the "autobiography" of the Italian nation. This book explains why today it is possible to describe "berlusconism" ' a cultural, political and social phenomenon in Italy' as the most recent version of this countryrs"s autobiography.
