ABSTRACT

Argues that the rise of the separatist Lombard League, which is currently calling for Italians to stop buying the nation's Treasury bonds and stop paying their taxes, is just a symptom of how the recession and devaluation of the lira are decimating the traditional ruling elite. Constitutional reform likely next year; Movements emerging to take advantage of the Italian desire for change.
