An innovative, bipartisan and comprehensive account of why European economic integration has been in disarray and how to fix it.
A fact-based treatise on the Eurozone crisis, with analysis of possible solutions The Incomplete Currency is the only technical — yet accessible — analysis of the current Eurozone crisis from a global perspective. The discussion begins by explaining how the Euro's architecture, the relationship between finance and the real economy, and the functioning of the Eurosystem in general are all at the root of the current crisis, and then explores possible solutions rooted in fact, not theory. All topics are analysed and illustrated, making extensive use of examples, tables, and graphics, and the ideas presented are supported by data sets and their statistical elaborations throughout the book.

In recorded financial history, there are almost no occasions, other than the present, where a significant portion of the global bond markets has been trading at negative nominal yields. Is this an anomaly or what will be the normal state of the financial markets in years to come? This monograph investigates the ongoing debate between the pros and cons of negative nominal yields and the economic rationale(s) that are used to justify or criticize underlying policies. Even in academic circles, few agree on the costs and benefits of negative yields. Surveying the global bond markets of the day, I find the impact of negative yields in almost all regions and sectors, though sovereign bond markets,...

Racconti come immagini, ricordi come ritratti, storie come schegge di vita di un tempo perduto che rivive nelle testimonianze documentali, ora intense e vibranti, ora flebili e periture, degli abitanti di Esterzili, protagonisti di un'antologia di pensieri sulla storia sociale ed economica del paese all'alba del Novecento. Brani vergati di seppia per riecheggiare, sul filo di una memoria divenuta storia, uno spaccato di vita comunitaria, sospesa tra racconto e fantasia, mito e leggenda, all'ombra di un passato che è nostalgia, malinconia, tormento, ma anche inviolabile eredità storica e spirituale, da custodire e tutelare. In sommario le testimonianze orali di Anna Boi, Bice Boi, Felicita ...
