Free Trade and Free Ports in the Mediterranean
How did free trade emerge in early-modern times? How did the Mediterranean as a specific region – with its own historical characteristics – produce a culture in which the free port appeared? What was the relation between the type of free trade created in early-modern Italy and the development of global trade and commercial competition between states for hegemony in the eighteenth century? And how did the position of the free port, originally a Mediterranean ‘invention’, develop over the course of time?

Matteo Bottigliero (1680-1757)
Il volume ripercorre le tappe della carriera artistica di Matteo Bottigliero, protagonista della scultura napoletana del Settecento, contribuendo a precisare gli sviluppi delle relazioni maturate con i maggiori artisti della scena partenopea. La ricostruzione del catalogo delle opere è stata condotta attraverso una rigorosa indagine documentaria, una revisione delle fonti e degli studi sui protagonisti del panorama scultoreo napoletano del ’700, da Lorenzo Vaccaro a Francesco Solimena, da Ferdinando Sanfelice a Domenico Antonio Vaccaro. L’itinerario dell’artista è riemerso pertanto all’attenzione degli studi, sia in relazione al complesso intreccio dei rapporti tra centro e periferia, che all’ambiente romano.
Right is Wrong
With her trademark passion, intelligence, and devastating wit, Huffington Post editor in chief Arianna Huffington tackles the issues that are crucial to this year’s presidential election and, even more so, to the fate of the country. Huffington makes the case that America has been hijacked from within by a radical element—the “lunatic fringe” of the Right that has taken over the Republican Party. Despite holding views at odds with the majority of Americans, these zealots have given us an endless war in Iraq, a sputtering economy, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture. But they haven’t done it on their own: they have been enabled by a compliant media that act as if there is no such thing as truth and are more interested in cozying up to those in power than in holding them accountable, and by feckless Democrats who have allowed themselves to be intimidated into backing down again and again. Both a withering indictment and a hopeful call to arms, Right Is Wrong is an explosive, boldly incisive work that will help set the national agenda.
