The Italian Disaster - and European Democracy



From The London Review of Books

A long essay by Perry Anderson

"Europe is ill. How seriously, and why, are matters not always easy to judge. But among the symptoms three are conspicuous, and inter-related. The first, and most familiar, is the degenerative drift of democracy across the continent, of which the structure of the EU is at once cause and consequence".

"A pervasive corruption of the political class".
