Story of My People

Winner of the 2011 Strega Prize, this thought-provoking blend of essay, social criticism, and memoir explores the impact of globalization on Italy’s declining manufacturing industry, starting from the author's family’s textile factory in Prato. Through a personal and regional lens, Edoardo Nesi examines how economic shifts and global trade have transformed Italian industrial life and culture. The book offers a critical perspective on contemporary economic and political issues, making it a compelling listen for those interested in European financial and social change.
