It is difficult for Italians to have much faith in the future. The
last Labour Minister said it was a good thing if young people
emigrated, to stop them 'getting under our feet'; one recent Prime
Minister said that young Italians should not invest their hopes in
securing a stable job, for that would be 'boring', anyway.
Examining Italy's history since the end of the Cold War, Italy is
the Future argues that its dismal situation should not be
understood in terms of a stereotyped narrative of Italian chaos or
backwardness. In a country that could once boast Europe's strongest
Left, Italy today epitomises the crisis of democracy in the West.
The scandals of Silvio Berlusconi's rule, the pervasive corruption
of public life and sky-high youth unemployment are indicators of a
particularly sick society. Yet what is also apparent is the
difficulty of any new force emerging to renew Italy's institutions,
as its atomised citizens lose hope in political change. What has
broken apart in Italy is not just its once-mighty Left but the very
bases of social solidarity. The parties of the 1990s and 2000s
directly express the social demolition wrought by neoliberalism, as
isolated and endangered individuals face the consequences of the
crisis alone. Not this or that political party, but public life
itself, is in full-scale collapse
