Ian Explains: Italy’s Dysfunctional Politics | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer

Italy’s dysfunctional politics

Italy's economy was already weak before the pandemic, but saw a nearly 9-point decline in GDP over the past year. While unemployment was dropping from a decade high reached in 2014, it was still around 10% in early 2020. And if you don't like Italy's political leaders…just wait a minute. They'll change.

Can Italy's new Prime Minister pull the country out of its political tailspin? Ian Bremmer explains on GZERO World.
