ABSTRACTIn 2018, Italy became the last of the E.U. member states to introduce a minimum income policy. Our work helps explain why Italy was a laggard in this field by investigating the role the Italian left played, historically, in the evolution of policies to combat poverty. This is a surprisingly neglected topic. We argue that until the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Italian left focused on labour-market insiders – that is, full-time core workers – and appeared largely unconcerned about the most vulnerable individuals, the outsiders, thus accepting the lack of policies to combat poverty. The policy status quo, however, dovetailed with a lively debate among left-wing intellectuals and politicians. This debate paved the way for several attempts by left-wing governments in the 1990s to implement a national pilot scheme (called the Reddito Minimo di Inserimento [R.M.I.]) along with local minimum income policies. The electoral success in 2013 of a new populist movement, the Five-star Movement (M.5.s.), campaigning on the flagship project of the Reddito di Cittadinanza (R.d.C.), fuelled the political debate on anti-poverty policies. This electoral ‘threat’ finally convinced the centre-left government under Paolo Gentiloni to establish in 2018 the Reddito di Inclusione, the first minimum income scheme in Italy. Our work demonstrates the importance of political variables, such as the structure and dynamics of party competition, in the fight against poverty. It also highlights the role of the Italian left as a political innovator in this field.RIASSUNTONel 2018, l’Italia è diventata l’ultimo degli Stati membri dell’UE a introdurre una misura di reddito minimo. Il nostro lavoro contribuisce a spiegare perché l’Italia è approdata così tardivamente a una simile misura, indagando il ruolo che la sinistra italiana ha storicamente svolto nell’evoluzione delle politiche di lotta alla povertà. Si tratta di un argomento sorprendentemente trascurato. La nostra tesi è che fino alla caduta del Muro di Berlino, la sinistra italiana si è concentrata sugli insiders del mercato del lavoro – cioè i lavoratori dipendenti a tempo pieno e indeterminato – senza apparentemente preoccuparsi degli individui più vulnerabili, gli outsiders, legittimando in questo modo l’assenza di una politica di lotta alla povertà in quanto tale. Lo status quo politico si è, tuttavia, accompagnato a un vivace dibattito tra gli intellettuali e i politici di sinistra. Questo dibattito ha aperto la strada a diversi tentativi da parte dei governi di centro-sinistra negli anni ‘90 di avviare sperimentazioni nazionali insieme a politiche locali di reddito minimo. Il successo elettorale nel 2013 di un nuovo movimento populista, il Movimento 5 stelle (M.5.s.), che ha fatto del Reddito di Cittadinanza (R.d.C.) la sua bandiera politica, ha alimentato il dibattito pubblico sulle politiche contro la povertà. Questa ‘minaccia’ elettorale ha contribuito a far sì che il governo di centro-sinistra guidato da Pao
2018年,意大利成为最后一个引入最低收入政策的欧盟成员国。我们的工作通过调查意大利左派在历史上对抗贫困政策的演变中所扮演的角色,有助于解释为什么意大利在这一领域落后。这是一个令人惊讶的被忽视的话题。我们认为,在柏林墙倒塌之前,意大利左翼关注的是劳动力市场内部人士——即全职核心工人——而似乎基本上不关心最脆弱的个人,即局外人,因此接受了缺乏对抗贫困政策的事实。然而,政策现状与左翼知识分子和政治家之间的激烈辩论相吻合。这场辩论为左翼政府在20世纪90年代实施国家试点计划(称为Reddito Minimo di Inserimento [R.M.I.])以及地方最低收入政策铺平了道路。2013年,新民粹主义运动“五星运动”(五星运动)在竞选中以“城市之红”(Reddito di Cittadinanza, R.d.C)的旗舰项目为竞选纲领,在选举中获得成功,引发了有关反贫困政策的政治辩论。这一选举“威胁”最终说服了保罗·真蒂洛尼(Paolo Gentiloni)领导的中左翼政府于2018年建立了意大利第一个最低收入计划——“包容新政”(Reddito di inclusion)。我们的工作表明了政治变量,如政党竞争的结构和动态,在消除贫困的斗争中的重要性。这也凸显了意大利左翼在这一领域作为政治革新者的作用。RIASSUNTONel 2018, l 'Italia(意大利)è(意大利):意大利国家博物馆(意大利),意大利博物馆(意大利),意大利博物馆(意大利)。Il nostro lavoro contributora spiegere perchche l 'Italia è approdata così tardivamente a una similura, inagando Il ruolo che la sininistra italiana a storicamente solvolto nell 'evoluzione delle politiche di lotta alla贫穷。我不认为这是一种有效的方法。意大利之家è意大利之家是柏林之家,意大利之家是è意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家,意大利之家是米兰之家。“政治现状”是è,“政治现状”与“政治现状”相一致,“政治现状”与“知识分子现状”相一致。1990年,中央政府部门和地方政府部门在全国范围内的实验、投资和地方政治部门在最低限度上的合作。Il successo elettorale nel 2013 di un nuovo movimento popullista, Il movimento 5 stelle (M.5.s.), che ha fatto del Reddito di Cittadinanza (R.d.C) la sua banddiera politica, ha alimentato Il dititito public public sulle politiche控制贫困。Questa ' minaccia ' elettorale为2018年意大利Reddito di Inclusione (R.E.I.), il primo schema di Reddito minimo做出了贡献sì。在意大利,“政治上的重要变化”、“政治上的结构变化”、“政治上的竞争变化”、“政治上的对比变化”、“政治上的改革变化”、“政治上的改革变化”、“政治上的改革变化”、“政治上的改革变化”、“政治上的改革变化”、“政治上的改革变化”、“政治上的改革变化”。关键词:意大利左翼最低收入政策政党竞争民主党我们感谢Massimo Baldini、Paolo Bosi、Andrea Brandolini、Cristiano Gori、Maria Cecilia Guerra、Alessandro Martelli以及《华尔街日报》的匿名审稿人对本文之前版本的建设性意见。这篇文章是作者们共同努力的结果。然而,仅出于正式目的,罗莎·穆尔格写了第3、4、5节,斯特凡诺·托索写了第1、2节。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。当然,其他社会经济因素在解释意大利最低收入政策的演变方面也很重要。其中包括与其他欧洲发达国家相比,最初的福利国家设置不那么发达,以及该国南北之间的经济差距。参见Ferrera et al.

ABSTRACTOn Sunday, November 13, 2022, the cultural section of the ‘Il Corriere della Sera’ devoted its main article to the first volume of Gianni Toniolo’s latest opus, Storia della Banca d’Italia. Formazione ed evoluzione di una banca centrale, 1893–1943. The article characterized the book as an ‘extraordinary economic autobiography of the country’, and Toniolo as ‘undoubtedly the greatest of Italian economic historians’. That very day Gianni Toniolo died in Rome at the age of eighty. To review Toniolo’s work and life, even in the limited space these pages allow, is to go back over a period of Italian and international economic historiography, from the 1970s to the present day, to which Toniolo made vital and original contributions in a number of different ways.RIASSUNTODomenica 13 novembre 2022 “Il Corriere della Sera” dedicava l’articolo principale della pagina della cultura al primo tomo della Storia della Banca d’Italia.

ABSTRACTOver the last forty years, there has been a mounting societal shift towards post-materialist values in all countries adhering to the democratic tradition. This has fuelled demand for increasingly personalized content, reflected in political and electoral preferences that, shaped by new agencies of socialization, have gradually distanced themselves from former loyalties. The political supply has been reorganized as a result. The old mass parties have morphed into the so-called catch all party and the more recent variations of the professional-electoral party, forced to drum up votes however it can, chiefly by concocting new issues to compensate for the weakening of traditional subcultures and the fact that the social groups and classes that were the mainstay of twentieth-century parties have now exited the scene. In Italy, this process has led to a political system that is – to say the least – fragmented and unstable. Taken as a whole, the Italian left is even harder pressed than other European lefts, though they too have shown themselves incapable in recent years of sensing the changing pulse and adapting to the new milieu and how it will affect the left’s legacy in terms of the industrial conflict between capital and labour. This is a cleavage that has marked the platforms of liberal-democratic political systems and the form that parties accordingly take even more than it has affected their value content. The Italian left’s perennially upwelling legacy has thus prevented it from retooling for a changing society and formulating policies that can build a solid voter base by interpreting the expectations of the more moderate portions of the electorate who, though sceptical about the centre-right coalition, harbour even greater doubts concerning the centre-left’s ability to actually govern.RIASSUNTONel corso negli ultimi quarant’anni in tutti I paesi a tradizione democratica il mutamento sociale orientate alla progressiva affermazione di valori post-materialisti ha fatto emergere nuove domande dal contenuto sempre più individualizzato, riflesse in preferenze politiche ed elettorali che, condizionate nel loro formarsi da nuove agenzie di socializzazione, si sono progressivamente emancipate dalle appartenenze tradizionali. Tali domande hanno innescato una ristrutturazione dell’offerta politica, caratterizzata dalla trasformazione dei tradizionali partiti a integrazione di massa dapprima nei cosiddetti partiti pigliatutti, per giungere fino alle più recenti varianti di partiti professionali-elettorali, sempre più costretti a costruire il proprio consenso in maniera trasversale e mutevole, soprattutto attraverso l’elaborazione di nuove issues, per compensare il cedimento delle sub-culture tradizionali e superare la scomparsa dalla scena di classi e gruppi sociali di riferimento che costituivano l’asse portante del consenso organizzato dai partiti novecenteschi.

This is a cleavage that has marked the platforms of liberal-democratic political systems and the form that parties accordingly take even more than it has affected their value content. The Italian left’s perennially upwelling legacy has thus prevented it from retooling for a changing society and formulating policies that can build a solid voter base by interpreting the expectations of the more moderate portions of the electorate who, though sceptical about the centre-right coalition, harbour even greater doubts concerning the centre-left’s ability to actually govern.RIASSUNTONel corso negli ultimi quarant’anni in tutti I paesi a tradizione democratica il mutamento sociale orientate alla progressiva affermazione di valori post-materialisti ha fatto emergere nuove domande dal contenuto sempre più individualizzato, riflesse in preferenze politiche ed elettorali che, condizionate nel loro formarsi da nuove agenzie di socializzazione, si sono progressivamente emancipate dalle appartenenze tradizionali. Tali domande hanno innescato una ristrutturazione dell’offerta politica, caratterizzata dalla trasformazione dei tradizionali partiti a integrazione di massa dapprima nei cosiddetti partiti pigliatutti, per giungere fino alle più recenti varianti di partiti professionali-elettorali, sempre più costretti a costruire il proprio consenso in maniera trasversale e mutevole, soprattutto attraverso l’elaborazione di nuove issues, per compensare il cedimento delle sub-culture tradizionali e superare la scomparsa dalla scena di classi e gruppi sociali di riferimento che costituivano l’asse portante del consenso organizzato dai partiti novecenteschi.

This article asks, ‘What’s left of the Italian left?’ arguing that an answer to the question presupposes having the answer to four more specific questions, namely, what does the term ‘left’ mean? What parties belong to this category thus defined? What accounts for the parties’ electoral decline since the end of the cold war? What, if anything, can be done to revive their fortunes? I argue that the terms ‘left’ and ‘right’ describe a spatial metaphor having to do with attitudes to equality. The electoral difficulties of the parties belonging to this category over the past thirty years can be explained by reference to three interlinked processes of long-term economic, social and political change that help account for the electoral decline of mainstream parties of the left in Western democracies in general in recent decades. In the context of globalization, a revival of the fortunes of the left in Italy appears to lie in the direction of an embrace of a social democratic ideology combined with a renewed emphasis on the principal of internationalism.
