Cultural Commons
'The concept of the commons as a shared resource capable of yielding collective benefits to people is a well-established one in the social sciences, but its extension to jointly-owned cultural resources is relatively new. This pioneering book explores the idea of a cultural commons as it can be applied in a wide range of areas, including landscapes, art and design, gastronomy, heritage, the performing arts and the online world. Although the book's chapters are written mainly from the perspective of cultural economics, the scope of the volume is truly interdisciplinary. the book is more than just a comprehensive introduction to the topic. It is also a source of original ideas that will act as...
Culture in Italy 2009
Context activities and cultural partecipation trends in Italy: a wide-angle snapshot of basic data and statistics illustrating the activities of the ministry and other public and private entities working to protect Italy’s heritage and promote culture. This booklet presents synthetic data concerning production, protection and promotion of culture in Italy. The figures refer to the previus year(unless otherwise specified) and have been provided by the National Statistical System, the General Directions and Central Institutes of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities (MiBAC) as well as other reliable and sound sources. Despite all efforts to ensure a systematic and balanced presentation of the data, some imbalances persist due to differences in survey methods and the lack of permanent informative exchanges between institutions. However, we hope that, although very concise, this publication will provide basic first-hand information to observers and researchers and allow the public at large to assess Italy's extensive cultural heritage as well as other social and economic aspects that accompany the growth and dissemination of culture.
Making Futures
Experiments in innovation, design, and democracy that search not for a killer app but for a collaboratively created sustainable future. Innovation and design need not be about the search for a killer app. Innovation and design can start in people's everyday activities. They can encompass local services, cultural production, arenas for public discourse, or technological platforms. The approach is participatory, collaborative, and engaging, with users and consumers acting as producers and creators. It is concerned less with making new things than with making a socially sustainable future. This book describes experiments in innovation, design, and democracy, undertaken largely by grassroots org...

Le sostenibili carte dell'Italia
Cos’è la sostenibilità? Riguarda l’ambiente o anche molto altro? È una questione solamente etica che fa appello al senso di responsabilità, individuale e collettivo, o è pure un affare economico? Si tratta di una moda passeggera o è una duratura e sempre più forte tendenza mondiale? Qual è la situazione dell’Italia? E l’opinione degli italiani? Quali carte il Bel Paese può giocare per vincere questa difficile e decisiva partita? Quali valori lo distinguono dai concorrenti e gli danno un vantaggio, se trasformati in fattori per generare benessere? Che ruolo può avere la cultura? E il territorio? E quanto importante è il contributo delle imprese e degli imprenditori? Queste ...
Introduction to Industrial Organization, second edition
An issue-driven introduction to industrial organization, thoroughly updated and revised. The study of industrial organization (IO)—the analysis of the way firms compete with one another—has become a key component of economics and of such related disciplines as finance, strategy, and marketing. This book provides an issue-driven introduction to industrial organization. Although formal in its approach, it is written in a way that requires only basic mathematical training. It includes a vast array of examples, from both within and outside the United States. This second edition has been thoroughly updated and revised. In addition to updated examples, this edition presents a more systematic treatment of public policy implications. It features added advanced sections, with analytical treatment of ideas previously presented verbally; and exercises, which allow for a deeper and more formal understanding of each topic. The new edition also includes an introduction to such empirical methods as demand estimation and equilibrium identification. Supplemental material is available online.
The House of Others
The illegitimate son of a fortune teller, Ezio Comparoni (1920-52) never knew his father, rarely left his home town, and admitted no one to his home. His deliberate obscurity was compounded by his use of many pseudonyms, including Silvio d'Arzo, under which he wrote the remarkable novella and three stories collected in The House of Others. The novella The House of Others is among the rare perfect works of twentieth century fiction. In a desolate mountain village an old woman visits the parish priest, ostensibly to ask about dissolving a marriage. Gradually, as she probes for information on "special cases"--cases in which what is obviously wrong can also be irrefutably right--it becomes clear her true question is whether or not she might take her own life. The question is metaphysical, involving not only the woman's life but the priest's; and to it he has no answer.
