Titres dans Corruption et manquements politiques

Representative democracies in the US and around the world are in trouble. Due to the political divide and political party extremism, people are upset, and looking for a government that better serves them. Books and articles are rife with blame, but no realistic, actionable solution has been put forth. Minor changes have been proposed such as term limits and multi-voting.

È possibile amministrare bene Roma? No. Perché è altrettanto impossibile amministrare bene l'Italia. Nella capitale questa realtà si tocca con mano perché, a un insieme di regole assurde, che condiziona la vita di tutti i Comuni, le Regioni e gli enti locali, si somma una città con una geografia, un'estensione, una struttura istituzionale e burocratica tali da renderla ingovernabile anche per un politico ben intenzionato. Inoltre la presenza sul territorio urbano di tutti gli uffici pubblici e le sedi centrali di associazioni di categoria del Paese rende il quadro ancora più caotico.

Este libro—ganador del Premio de Periodismo Javier Valdez Cárdenas 2019—rompe el círculo vicioso de silencio y simulación y les pone nombre y apellido a las compañías señaladas por malas prácticas, explica los esquemas de la transa y las razones de la impunidad desatada.
