Just finished reading La Casta, a book about italian politics; there is just a journalistic research on what italian politicts costs and what kind of benefit it brings. The picture is depressing; it is not about corruption, it is about all the privileges italian politicians have given themselves, resulting in an administration disaster. Last episode was about the filing of Bankruptcy for the city of Taranto...but the list of unbelieveable things is so long, you could write a book about it. As Rizzo and Stella did.
The problem with this book is that the problem is presented, but no solution is given. Personally I do not believe this cast of politician will be able to clean themselves and adopt more acceptable guidelines, as I don't believe that with the current voting system elections could bring an opening to it. Beppe Grillo, a comician from Genua that holds his fame to his homonimy with me, believes that internet and social mobilitazion might be the answer. I am not so sure. In 1992 we had Tangentopoli and Mani pulite, and 15 years later we are worst than then.
