Condizioni politiche e amministrative della Sicilia
by Leopoldo Franchetti
(English version: Merchants of Violence to be published next year by Princeton University Press.) A classic 19th-century study of the Mafia, showing that its origins should be seen as a consequence of the end of feudalism, with the increase in private property and a surfeit of former armed guards of the feudal barons.
