Path

Your selection, following the vote announced in the previous post , is this (I give it to you in descending order of preference, and in any case putting the first post in the head, which we would have inserted by default ):

1) The bailouts that won't save us .
2) The novel of center and periphery .
3) What do you know about Greece (fact checking)?
4) Seventy years of peace .
5) 1992: the slight inaccuracies of Corsera .
6) Who has betrayed us and who is betraying us .
7) Devaluation and wages (ad usum piddini): my April 25th .
8) Euro: an announced catastrophe .
9) Eurodelitto and eurocastigo .
10) Print money (in seven Whatsapp plus one) .

Few of you have made explicit reference to recital number 5, and very few have motivated their choices.

Of course, an author belongs to his readers: you are free to read in what I wrote what you want, and the problem of describing my path is my problem, not yours!

Let's say that if I had to describe my path in ten moves I would make a slightly different choice:

1) The exit of the euro redux: Realpolitik strikes again , because it tells how I tore the veil of Maya, learning from Aristide's voice how fascist the nature of the European project was and how the left was proud of claiming it, with a arrogance aristocratic as repulsive as orthogonal to the spirit of our Constitution.

2) The bailouts that will not save us , because it was my only attempt, aborted, to open a debate on the blog of economists comme il faut , that is, of those despicable conformists of my colleagues, and because it poses a forward-looking thesis that, as you know , the aforementioned conformists were then forced to propose as their own (obviously without mentioning me, with the intellectual honesty that distinguishes them).

3) Eurodelitto and eurocastigo , because it is a good example of the work I have done with you, and because it describes one of the countless meetings in which I participated in which the betrayal of the left-wing ruling classes towards their electorate was revealed with tragic evidence.

4) A year lived humorously , because it describes the abject episode that motivated me to open this blog, and it documents well a mistake not to make when you face an enemy whose offensive potential you do not know. They did it, and I'm here now.

5) Loneliness , because there I understood when the pact that bound us was strong and irreversible.

6) Thieving Milan, Berlin does not forgive , because it was an attempt, I believe crowned with success (since I am writing to you from Palazzo Carpegna), to open a debate on a crucial point in the electorate of the League: each North is the South of a ' other North.

7) The Greek lesson and the Italian left , which was the acknowledgment of how difficult, and probably even useless, it would have been to continue turning to a political class whose leaders were unrecoverable.

8) Waiting I enjoy (2) … , because it documents the episode that made the vase overflow: my fascist and senseless exclusion from the conference of the left of the left, motivated by the fact that I had spoken with Salveenee fasheesta . From that day it was clear to me that they were Evil and it was my job to be the cure.

9) On conservatism , because it is the post in which I announced my choice and my motivations.

10) Trust , because it testifies that the scandalous pact that I have made with you has not dissolved with my entry into politics, which indeed has been for many of you an example of militancy, a choice of field to comply with.

Except for the first one, they are all in chronological order. Of "your" I would certainly save the novel and the announced catastrophe. On all the others I have reservations: there are much better ones, to convert the piddini, than those you have listed, but if you were able to convert the piddini you would not come here to complain that you did not succeed and I would not have advised, in unsuspicious times, to desist .
