On Italy, right-wing culture war, and hegemony.
David Broder is back on the pod, talking to Alex and Lee about how Giorgia Meloni has managed to become Italy’s longest-serving post-war prime minister.
-
What accounts for Meloni’s longevity?
-
Has she ruled on ‘pure ideology’ alone?
-
Does her moderation and Atlanticism tell us something about what the new right does in power?
-
Is there a moral economy the radical right has managed to mobilise, beyond the culture wars? Producers versus parasites?
-
Is European politics still liberal technocrats versus right-wing populists?
-
How will European governments fare over the next year as the ‘cost-of-living’ crisis bites?
