  The fastest-rising force in Italian politics is Giorgia Meloni's Fratelli d'Italia—a party with a direct genealogy from Mussolini's regime. Surging to prominence in recent years, it has waged a fierce culture war against the left, polarized political debate around WWII, and even secured the largest vote share in Italy's 2022 general election. Eighty years after the fall of Mussolini, his heirs, and admirers are again on the brink of taking power. 
   
   
   
  Mussolini's Grandchildren delves into Italy's self-styled 'post-fascist' movements—rooted in historical fascism yet claiming to have 'transcended' it. David Broder highlights the reinventions of far-right politics since WWII and examines the interplay between a parliamentary face aimed at integrating fascists into the mainstream and militant fringe groups which, despite their extremism, play an important role in nurturing the broader far right. 
   
   
   
  Fratelli d'Italia has retained its hegemony over fascist subcultures whilst embracing a raft of more pragmatic policy positions, fusing harsh Islamophobia and anti-communism with support for the European Union and NATO. As countervailing anti-fascist forces in Italian society wane, the far-right party's mission to redeem historical fascism, legitimize its political heirs, and shift the terrain of mainstream politics is proving alarmingly successful.

  On Class

  Deborah Dundas is a journalist who grew up poor and almost didn’t make it to university. In On Class, she talks to writers, activists, those who work with the poor and those who are poor about what happens when we don’t talk about poverty or class—and what will happen when we do.
  		 
  Growing up poor, Deborah Dundas knew what it meant to want, to be hungry, and to long for social and economic dignity; she understood the crushing weight of having nothing much expected of you. But even after overcoming many of the usual barriers faced by lower- and working-class people, she still felt anxious about her place, and even in relatively safe spaces reluctant to broach the subject of class. While new social movements have generated open conversation about gender and racism, discussions of class rarely include the voices of those most deeply affected: the working class and poor. 
  On Class is an exploration of the ways in which we talk about class: of who tells the stories, and who doesn’t, which ones tend to be repeated most often, and why this has to change. It asks the question: What don’t we talk about when we don’t talk about class? And what might happen if, finally, we did?

  State looters Again and again

  On September 15, 2017, in front of millions of television viewers, Emmanuel Macron, with François Bayrou, his Keeper of the Seals at the time, delivered his first lie: “It is now impossible to be elected when you have a B2 criminal record”. Nothing could be further from the truth: in 2025, it is still possible to stand for election and be elected after having been convicted by the courts, whereas there are 396 jobs requiring a clean criminal record. Ten years after the best-seller Pilleurs d'État (State Looters), which sold 120,000 copies, Philippe Pascot takes stock of the progress and setbacks in French politics, listing all the legal abuses still available to the political class: exorbitant salaries and associated expenses, tax exemptions, multiple pensions, fictitious employment, exceptional justice, show trials, bogus declarations of interest and activities, and so many other little arrangements between friends... For Philippe Pascot, the findings are indisputable: “Behind a declared desire for transparency and moralization in the political sphere, our elected representatives continue to nurture their own interests through laws that are less and less comprehensible, in order to escape criminal prosecution and drape themselves in a circumstantial innocence. ”

  The Rise and Fall of the Roman...

  The founding of Rome is one of the most famous legends in history, blending myth and reality to shape the origins of one of the greatest civilizations of the ancient world. According to Roman tradition, the city was established in 753 BCE by Romulus, the first king of Rome, after he and his twin brother, Remus, were rescued and raised by a she-wolf. This tale, passed down through generations, symbolized Rome’s strength, resilience, and divine favor. While the legend is deeply ingrained in Roman identity, historians believe the city’s origins were more complex, involving the gradual unification of Latin and Etruscan tribes. 
  The early formation of Rome was influenced by its strategic location along the Tiber River. The site provided access to trade routes, fresh water, and natural defenses, making it an ideal settlement for early inhabitants. Archaeological evidence suggests that small villages existed in the area long before Rome’s legendary founding, with early settlers engaging in agriculture, trade, and warfare. These early communities gradually coalesced, forming a unified society under a monarchical system. The first rulers of Rome were part of the Roman Kingdom, a period that saw the development of political institutions, religious practices, and military organization that would shape the city’s future. 
  Roman society during its early years was structured around family and clan-based systems, with the patricians, or aristocratic families, holding the majority of political power. The king was the central authority, responsible for religious duties, military leadership, and lawmaking. However, his rule was supported by a council of elders known as the Senate, which played an advisory role. Over time, tensions arose between the patricians and the common people, or plebeians, who sought greater political representation. These early power struggles foreshadowed the later conflicts that would lead to the transition from monarchy to a republic.
