Quotes by Corrado Augias  (?)

“Il dispotismo mite è composto da un intreccio di benevolenza, compiacimento, seduzione, diffusione di notizie false o reticenti, carisma da parte di chi vuole imporlo e sostanziale «passività» dei cittadini.”
Corrado Augias, Il disagio della libertà. Perché agli italiani piace avere un padrone

“La scelta di chiudersi in casa sbarrando le finestre per non vedere, abbandonando ogni cura per la cosa pubblica è rimasta del resto fino ai nostri giorni, in particolare in quelle regioni meridionali diventate preda della criminalità.”
Corrado Augias, Il disagio della libertà. Perché agli italiani piace avere un padrone

“Per secoli gli italiani non sono riusciti ad avere nemmeno una memoria comune. Una storia così frammentata non gli ha permesso di elaborare una forma politica all'altezza della cultura, della civiltà, delle straordinarie personalità che sono riusciti a esprimere.”
Corrado Augias
