Silvio Berlusconi: Television, Power and PatrimonyVerso, 2004 - 189 halaman Silvio Berlusconi, a family man with a taste for the good life, owner of a huge television empire and, most recently, the man who likened a German MEP to a Nazi camp commander... small wonder that much of liberal Europe and America has responded with considerable dismay and some mirth to his governance of Italy. Paul Ginsborg, a leading commentator on contemporary Italy, explains here why we should take Berlusconi seriously. Combining historical narrative - Berlusconi's childhood in the dynamic and paternalist Milanese bourgeoisie, his strict, religious schooling, a working life which has encompassed singing on Mediterranean cruise ships and the bankrolling of construction projects - with analysis of Berlusconi's political development, he shows how the Italian example is highly instructive for modern societies everywhere. politics, the nature of personal dominion at a time of crisis in representative democracy, the connection between the consumer world, families and politics, and the weaknesses of modern left-wing politics - are, Ginsborg suggests, near-universal; and we would do well to consider traits frequently ascribed to Berlusconi like spregiudicatezza, deft footing in the world of secret deals, and a sense of clan, as not specifically Italian. |

Halaman 7 - England thinks in certain crises is largely controlled by a very few men, not by virtue of the direct expression of any opinion of their own, but by controlling the distribution of emphasis in the telling of facts: so stressing one group of them and keeping another group in the background as to make a given conclusion inevitable.
Halaman 7 - Obviously what England thinks is largely controlled by one man; not by the direct expression of any opinion of his own but by controlling the distribution of emphasis in the telling of facts, so stressing one group of them day after day and keeping another group in the background as to make a given conclusion inevitable.

Halaman 5 - ... clearly are theories, widely canvassed in liberal society, which want to define freedom exclusively in terms of the independence of the individual from interference by others, be these governments, corporations or private persons; and equally clearly these theories are challenged by those who believe that freedom resides at least in part in collective control over the common life.
