Scritti di Giuseppe Mazzini, Politica ed Economia, Vol. I

A selection of political and economic essays and addresses argues that political organization and social progress are inseparable, insisting that political reform must serve moral, intellectual, and economic improvement for the people. It critiques currents that separate workers' economic aims from national and political life and engages competing socialist and anarchist doctrines, maintaining that only a unifying ideal can elicit widespread sacrifice and solidarity. The collection privileges later writings addressed to youth and popular associations while retaining earlier pieces that show incisive, predictive analysis, and it consistently blends philosophical reflection with concrete counsel for political action.
