L'alternativa liberale: Malagodi e l'opposizione al centro sinistra

While being a history of Italian liberalism and in part a political biography of Giovanni Malagodi, general secretary of the PLI from 1954 until 1972, this volume also aims at a more ambitious target. By observing the events from a perspective which historians have so far discarded, that of the Italian liberal party and ideology which came out of the 1960s badly defeated, and by building on Malagodi’s personal archive, extremely rich and never used before, it proposes an original interpretation of the political history of Italy in such a crucial period as the transition from “centrismo” to “centro sinistra” (1954-1963).
