L'Unità Dossier  
L'Unità is dead. Even if it comes out again it will be another newspaper, with an owner and management that do not posses the same Left-wing experiences. Let us try to recall its long history and its particular role, to recreate the different stages of its long crisis and to locate the political and editorial responsabilities that have lead to its closure and sale.

FROM WEIMAR TO MAASTRICHT   italian version
In the not-too-distant future, the issue of European unity will arrive at some of its most difficult points. The overall tendency is to transfer the inspiring principles of neo-liberalism and technocracy to political and institutional seats; however, this still feeds localist and nationalist impulses. We will take a look at this issue starting from the Charter for Human Rights.

PENSION FUND CAPITALISM   italian version
A debate is currently developing regarding the increasingly important role of institutional investors and pension funds. These funds are powerful instruments used to boost financing and create new social blocks. Nevertheless, there is still someone on the Left who believes in the necessity and possibility of using it to positive ends. Bellofiore challenges this.
 
Michele Ranchetti
ABOUT THE CHURCH: PRAEVALEBUNT   italian version
The haste and extent of the u-turn over the past few months in the upper echelon of the Church is astounding. Just as astounding is the resulting secular compliancy. According to Michele Ranchetti, the roots of this process go far and deep, with causes and consequences to be found not just in the political and cultural world, but also on religious ground.
