Review
"Travelers to Italy this summer may find economic catastrophe as omnipresent as monuments and sidewalk cafes, according to this former editor-in-chief of the Economist. Emmott's breezy narrative provides a quick overview of the beleaguered Italian economy and sketches some background causes for its woes before offering glimpses of a brighter future."--Publishers Weekly--Publishers Weekly
"[A] lucid and thoughtful book... it is written in a graceful style that is stronger for its careful - even delicate - illumination of personal and national failure than simply offering a wilderness of denunciations."--Financial Times-- (06/16/2012)
"...a lively and readable analysis."--The Bookseller --The Bookseller (04/13/2012)
