Confused Perceptions, Illuminating Analyses

The aim of "Confused Perceptions, Illuminating Analyses" is to capture, in its gradual initial construction, a distinct way of observing the extraordinary intellectual revolution that Albert Hirschman built up over time.

Taken together, the essays collected here are intended to represent a distinct way of observing the extraordinary intellectual revolution that Albert Hirschman built up over time. It is a perspective that can only be acquired through hard work and in practical-theoretical surges-starting out from the Mezzogiorno, from Italy, from the Euro-Mediterranean area (and beyond)
