Now it is viewed as a major threat to the future of the Euro, indeed to the European Union as a whole. Italy's political system is shorn of credibility as it struggles to deal with huge public debts and anemic levels of economic growth. Young people are emigrating in droves, frustrated at the lack of opportunity, while older people stubbornly cling to their rights and privileges, fearful of an uncertain future. In this lively, up-to-the-minute book, Bill Emmott explains how Italy sank to this low point, how Italians feel about it, and what can be done to return the country to more prosperous and more democratic times. With the aid of numerous personal interviews, Emmott analyzes ";Bad Italy";-the land of disgraced Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, an inadequate justice system, an economy dominated by special interests and continuing corruption-against its contrasting foil ";Good Italy,"; the home of enthusiastic entrepreneurs, truth-seeking journalists, and countless citizens determined to end mafia domination for good. 606 $aPolitical corruption$zItaly 606 $aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009 607 $aItaly$xPolitics and government$y1994- 607 $aItaly$xEconomic conditions$y1994- 607 $aItaly$xSocial conditions$y1994- 607 $aItaly$xEconomic policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical corruption 615 0$aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009. 676 $a945.093 700 $aEmmott$b Bill$0248851 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452386103321 996 $aGood Italy, Bad Italy$92133813 997 $aUNINA
