Praise for Story of My People:

"Edoardo Nesi has written a short memoir of great charm, for all its sadness a pleasure to read... Mr. Nesi's sense of loss will touch hearts much farther afield, wherever the West's world-class industries have fallen to free trade and the Internet."--The New York Times

"This unique book--part memoir, part argument for the reformation of the global financial system--tumbles out of itself on the page, and reading it was an equally propulsive experience. It rhapsodizes and slaps its chest in true Italian style, makes frequent allusions with a disarming bluntness (to Machiavelli, to Richard Ford, to Paul Newman movies), and always has something to say. I finished and instantly went back to re-read certain pages." --John Jeremiah Sullivan, author of Pulphead and writer for the New York Times Magazine

"Who would have thought that memoir and polemic could work together so well? A totally absorbing story, and a portrait of modern Italy." --Sarah Bakewell, author of How to Live

"A searing indictment of globalization's failures, and the inability of politicians and pundits to consider its impact on real lives...much of the book is sad, honest, and biting; overall it is an important work." --Publishers Weekly
