For all those who think that politics is complicated and distant, here is a map to understand its mechanisms.
A book to understand how governments, Parliament make decisions and how justice works. And why this concerns us.
Complex, boring, repetitive, contentious and biased: Italian politics is not loved by its citizens, who are increasingly disinterested in what happens in the halls of power. Partly because public affairs appear light years away from our daily occupations, partly because navigating the maze of figures, processes and buildings seems like a feat for a few. Yet knowing politics is an essential tool for asserting our rights as citizens. Chiara Albanese is the right person to guide us on this journey: from her privileged observatory as a Bloomberg correspondent she explains Italian politics to foreigners and, with her podcast Politics, founded with the deputy editor of the Post Francesco Costa, she explains it to Italians. This is Politics! it is a book for everyone, and that everyone should read: a clear and effective explanation of how the system, the parties, the institutions of our country work, and the practical demonstration of how politics affects all of us closely, indeed very closely.
A work that intertwines the legal adventure experienced by the author with politics, That’s Politics! it is the compass for not falling one step behind, understanding our country and acting in a conscious and informed way.
