Tramonto globale. La fame, il patibolo, la guerra

Danilo Zolo,

Tramonto globale according to Danilo Zolo, the sun is going down on modern democracies. A world in which the political decisions of the west are guided by the ideology of enrichment and "humanitarian war" inevitably points up the limitations of the doctrine of human rights and the resounding failure of the international institutions that ought to guarantee peace. A leading exponent of the contemporary political and philosophical debate, in this collection of essays he addresses phenomena such as the poverty, hunger and lethal diseases suffered by millions of people, terrorism, migrations, the penitentiary explosion, telecracy, the dismantling of the Welfare State and «global fear». Shunning craven optimism, his gaze is courageously pessimistic: when the night is over the first glimmers of dawn will emerge, but to be able to see them we have to «overcome the obtuseness of the planetary clichés, unmask the oppression, falsity and hypocrisy of the political and economic-financial system that currently aims to dominate the world and is undermining the very foundations of human existence.»
