About this episode
Italy’s current prime minister Giorgia Meloni can trace her political roots all the way back to Mussolini. But what exactly does the Italian far right of today have in common with its fascist forebears?
In part two of our interview, David Broder, Europe editor for Jacobin and the author of Mussolini’s Grandchildren, discusses the rise and record of Meloni. You can find the first part of the conversation on Jacobin Radio.
