Title: Il processo politico-fiscale in Gaetano Mosca: approccio socio-politico o abbozzo di «Public Choice»?
(Conflict and democracy in Gaetano Mosca)
Abstract:  This paper analyzes Gaetano Mosca’s thought in order to enlighten some neglected achievements
and to compare it with the Public Choice Theory. In spite of several studies that focus
only on the power of the ruling class on the ruled majority, his perspective contains a deep
analysis of the way a modern democracy functions and, in particular, of the relationship between
politicians and voters.
