Italy is a country of recent decline and long-standing idiosyncratic traits- a rich society where the rule of law is weak and political accountability is low. This book draws on political economic literature and historical analysis to argue that a battle of ideas can ease the shift to a fairer and more efficient equilibrium.

A unique attempt to retrace the deeper causes of Italy's decline
Uses institutional analysis of Italy's politico-economic problems to explore both the historical and economic causes of its downward trajectory
Focuses on the relatively understudied transition phases between the open-access and limited-access social order

Andrea Lorenzo Capussela received a PhD in international law with a thesis concerning competition policy. After some years in the private sector, he served as the head of the economics unit of Kosovo's international supervisor, the International Civilian Office, in 2008-11, and then as the adviser to Moldova's minister of economy and deputy prime minister, on behalf of the EU. He is the author of State-Building in Kosovo: Democracy, Corruption, and the EU in the Balkans.
