Ferruccio Pinotti is an Italian journalist and author known for investigative non-fiction on religious movements and secret power; author of La lobby di Dio.

Has published investigative works on Comunione e Liberazione, Opus Dei and Freemasonry (as referenced in reviews).

De Lorenzo reviews Ferruccio Pinotti's La lobby di Dio, an investigative essay on Comunione e Liberazione (CL) and its economic-political role in Italy. The book is praised as interesting, well-written and excellently documented. The reviewer partly disagrees with the book's normative conclusions but finds its analysis of CL-CdO's subsidiarity-based networks and inclusion mechanisms valuable. The text situates CL-CdO as a potential socio-economic "third way" between liberalism and socialism.

For:Readers interested in Italian politics, contemporary religious movements, investigative non-fiction and socio-economic networks.

 I will say right away that I am not entirely in agreement with his thesis; the book is interesting, well-written, and excellently documented, but at the same time, it does not persuade me in terms of deontology or the "ought to be".
