Hypercitizens
The gift of turning deserts into gardens features the emerging new elite, which must not waste its resources feeding those who turn gardens into deserts. The elite of the past needed to control the masses to be in power. The elite of the past needed the mystery of sacred symbols and fear, just like in politics and religion, to scare and control the masses. The elite of today and tomorrow need to shape the trends and fluctuations of intangible and invisible knowledge to turn it into wealth, just like in finance and science. This is the key to power for the new elite, who no longer need to control the masses. These new elite live at a very cosmopolitan, global and self-investing level at which life becomes pure abstraction. This high concept, cosmopolitan novel portrays this emerging elite named Hypercitizens. Andrea Pitasi is a university professor, a strategic advisor, an investor and lives the hypercitizen vision and style. www.hypercitizen.com www.andreapitasi.com

The wide horizon strategy
Se si lancia una rana in un pentolone di acqua bollente salterà fuori e si salverà, se invece la si appoggia delicatamente nel pentolone di acqua appena tiepida e poi la si cuoce a fuoco lento la rana non coglierà il pericolo incombente e sarà felice di restare a mollo. In un mondo ove quasi quattro miliardi di nuovi capitalisti tra Cina, India, Brasile e Russia trovano ovvio lavorare diciotto ore al giorno e puntare ad arricchirsi, chiunque predichi i diritti, la lentezza, la qualità della vita, il benessere nelle piccole cose di tutti giorni e la retorica dei buoni sentimenti, dell’etica, della decrescita e dell’eguaglianza sociale sta solo preparando un bagnetto tiepido per tutti...
Inventing the Future in an Age of Contingency
In a world where communication and language are not as divisive as they once were, we are experiencing a convergence unlike any other. Through technology and a broadening of our cultural understanding, we are opening doors and closing communication borders. While it is easier to adapt to and enter each other’s worlds, still we must navigate complex systems to understand operations within groups and organisations. Our experiences allow us more acceptance, but education is the only door to full comprehension. The chapters in this volume challenge readers to explore complexity theory and offer elements that support the continued and ever-growing need for its use. The book explores technology, culture, and science to navigate systems within organisations, in order to divulge the broad spectrum in which complexity theory may be utilised.
Explaining Social Processes
This textbook considers understanding social processes to be the main task of sociology. From this perspective its authors demonstrate and explain problems which they consider to be crucial for contemporary social science. These are topics of a theoretical and epistemological nature, which are nevertheless closely connected with social development and issues arising from it. The book moves from the more general theoretical questions and dilemmas raised by key social thinkers, such as those connected with the concepts of actor, agency, institutions, structures and systems. It then leads to theoretical reflections on long-term developmental processes associated with the phenomena of power and life in current societies, including globalization, identities, migration, etc. It provides a comprehensive approach to the essential questions of sociology. Lucidly written and including the latest sociological perspectives, this book will find wide appeal among social science students and researchers, and is also for the socially aware general reader.
