The last number of IJPE is out, with my piece about "salvinomics".
Nell'ultimo numero dell'International Journal of Political Economy, la
mia analisi sulle caratteristiche del Salvinismo Economico.
Abstract
The
aim of this article is to analyze the possible effects of implementing
the economic program of Matteo Salvini on the Italian economy and the
whole society. Salvini has co-opted most of the electoral strategies and
economic program from Donald Trump’s campaign. We have used analytical
concepts involved in the relationships among economic aspects that
determine political consequences and vice versa. To do that, we have
studied the evolution of the program of Salvini’s party, his
communication strategy, and the composition of his electoral block. From
this analysis the fact emerges that the full application of Salvinomics
could have a dangerous effect for Italy in terms of inequalities,
economic growth, the sustainability of debt and public finance,
international relationships, and, in general, for the role of Italy in
the globalized world. Also, the effects of some institutional reforms
jointly with the economic measures could make his electoral base
unstable and conflictual.
