Andrea Capussela

The Political Economy of Italy's Decline

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Italy is a country of recent decline and long-standing idiosyncratic traits- a rich society where the rule of law is weak and political accountability is low. This book draws on political economic literature and historical analysis to argue that a battle of ideas can ease the shift to a fairer and more efficient equilibrium.
