Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben presents an account of the political upheavals that ensued as the COVID-19 pandemic brought his country--and with it his countrymen's personal liberties--to a crashing halt. While controversial, Agamben's reflections on the transformation of Western democracies hold implications far beyond any present crisis.
