| Description: | 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. Italy is a country of recent decline and long-standing idiosyncratic traits. A rich society served by an advanced manufacturing economy , where the rule of law is weak and political accountability low, it has long been in downward spiral alimented by corruption and clientelism. From this spiral has emerged an equilibrium as consistent as it is inefficient, that raises serious obstacles to economic and democratic development. The Political Economy of Italy''s Decline explains the causes of Italy''s downward trajectory, and explains how the country can shift to a fairer and more efficient system. |
