This book chronicles the demise of the so-called leftist Italian cultural establishment during the long 1980s.

Trade Review
"There is no sweetness, lightness, weakness, or softness in Ricciardi's indictment, but hard facts and bitter truths piled up to heavy conclusions: Italy's intellectual life is the very culprit of a historical process of progressive civic and social degeneration that has led to the catastrophe that many have called Berlusconi's Italy. A very courageous book." * Roberto M. Dainotto Duke University *
"A bold and timely scholarship for all Italian literary or cultural enthusiasts and scholars." -- Greta Aart * Cerise Press *
