Description
Few established European democracies have undergone as much change as Italy in recent years, and here is a book that explores precisely what has been achieved - from a public choice perspective. The book pays particular attention to, among others, the introduction of the EURO, the reform of voting from proportional to majoritarian rule, and the switch from a highly centralized government to a federal organization.
