Description
The Italian Mafia: A History of Power and Corruption From 1946 to the present day, the Italian mafias have grown in power and become increasingly interconnected. This has led to terrifying consequences, including widespread corruption and political paralysis. Today, the legacy of mafia history still casts a long shadow over Italy, where debt, economic instability, and institutional weakness have created an environment in which organized crime can thrive. The country's politicians and business leaders are often accused of having ties to the mafia, with some even serving time for their involvement. John Dickie explores this complex and often disturbing world, shedding light on the inner workings of the Italian mafias and their impact on modern Italy.
