ABSTRACT
nyone who knows anything about post-war Italy cannot help but conclude that all her major and minor ills—and God alone knows how many there are and how serious they are—can be cured by Parliament. Every senator and deputy (including the author) ought, then, to reflect on our confusion and chaos and, pointing at the mirror, say "Culpa tua" Not that Parliament recognizes the vices we have or what the most efficacious remedies would be; moreover, it does not always have men capable of applying the remedies. No. Nevertheless it admits that Parliament alone has the power to make Italy, in a few years, a modern, civilized, just, law-abiding, cultivated, prosperous and honest country.
