N°  29  June 2002 Rossana Rossanda CONVERSATIONS WITH SERGIO COFFERATI   Fiat has shuddered to a halt. After a drop in production and GDP, and despite government forecasts to the contrary, the full extent of the Italian economic crisis came to light in May. Sergio Cofferati discusses the problem with Rossana Rossanda and suggests that responsability lies not with European ties, but with the lack of a project for economic growth offered by the Government and Opposition.   Giuseppe Chiarante FRANCE CALLS ITALY   Regardless the outcome of the political elections, the defeat of Jospin marks the end of the cycle of reformist moderatism that was launched in Europe in the 1990s. There is no longer the illusion that the consequences of the free market offensive, which focusses on the problems of wealthy countries without an alternative strategy, can be lessened through policies of compromise and micro-reform.   Scheda THE DUTCH LESSON   Alexandre Bilous FRANCE:MOVEMENTS AND PARTIES     Gianni Ferrara PRESIDENCY BY HALVES: THE END OF AN ILLUSION   Mario Agostinelli EUROPE: DISPUTE ABOUT THE SOCIAL MODEL   Roberto Tesi THE MIRAGE OF RECOVERY   Diego De Podestà THE PARABLE OF THE EMILIAN MODEL   Raniero La Valle FOR A NEW FORM OF PACIFISM   Michele Giorgio THE GOAL OF THE ISRAELI INVASION     Alberto Burgio TWO SOULS FROM PORTO ALEGRE?   Hardt has proposed a new interpretation of Porto Alegre. A struggle between two incompatible souls which can be divided into sovranist or globalist. Burgio challenges the dilemma and highlights the necessity for a link between the fight against imperialism and globalised capitalism against a backdrop of communist projects and new movements for social protest.   Michele Mezza EARTHQUAKE IN THE CONTINENT OF THE MEDIA     Robin Blackburn ENRON AND PENSION FUNDS   A renowned American economist has written that in 50 years’ time, the Enron case will be remembered just as much as the attack on the Twin Towers. Robin Blackburn explains that it was not just a case of a colossal fraud. What seemed to be an anomaly has in fact been the norm for that type of financing and pension fund holders are the inevitable victims.   Guido Liguori THE STATE IS NOT DEAD   This summary has links to the Italian titles and where possible, with the version in its original language
