«Basso impero» is Giorgio Bocca's essay on American imperialism, published by Feltrinelli in 2003 (164 pages, in Italian).
Bocca analyses the US superpower under the Bush administration as an empire driven by the mixture of religious fundamentalism and economic fundamentalism. He argues that the American democratic model has always been linked to wealth seen as a divine reward and to conquest, unlike the European social model. From the Cold War, through Reaganism, that aggressive capitalism has become an export commodity, eroding individual rights and informational independence.
Work of 164 pages published in 2003 and belonging to the collection «Serie bianca/Feltrinelli».
Giorgio Valentino Bocca was an Italian essayist and journalist, also known for his participation in the World War II partisan movement.
