What happened
Piero Cipollone: The foundations of national sovereignty: the role of central bank money. The article reports that [ 1 ] Eighty years ago, in the aftermath of fascism and the catastrophic Second World War, Italy reclaimed its independence, popular sovereignty and democratic freedoms thanks to the referendum of 2 June 1946 and the subsequent entry into force of the Italian Constitution on 1 January 1948. It also notes that today we live in a profoundly different world, one in which safeguarding our national sovereignty is inextricably linked to defending that of the European Union. Together, these details make the story relevant for rates, credit availability, bank funding, and consumer finance channels.

Why it matters
