Why did the American superpower choose to entrust its government to a leader without charisma, of advanced age and with a political history full of contradictions? How could he become a sort of last resort of American democracy, the man to bet on to shake up a country that has been experiencing a slow decline for some time and to whom to entrust the difficult task of reinventing a left in crisis?
Massimo Gaggi is a columnist for "Corriere della Sera" in the United States, where he follows the political and economic events of the country. He has published Dio, patria, ricchezza (Rizzoli 2006), La fine del ceto medio e la nascita della società "low cost" (with E. Narduzzi, Einaudi 2006), Piena disoccupazione (with E. Narduzzi, Einaudi 2007), L'ultima notizia. From the crisis of paper empires to the paradoxes of the glass age (with M. Bardazzi, Rizzoli 2010) and Crack America (Solferino 2020). For Laterza he is the author of La valanga. From the American crisis to the global recession (2009) and Homo premium. How Technology Divides Us (2018).
