David Broder (@Broderly), a scholar of Italian communism at the London School of Economics, joins us to discuss the state of Italian politics following the elections last month.

The fluidity of Italian politics as a harbinger of things to come in postmodern politics. Complications caused by western intelligence and native mafia in politics. The state of neoliberalism in Italy. The rise of Berlusconi's third way. The collapse of the Italian Christian Democrats. How Five Star is using the Euro to bash Italian democratic institutions.
