Experts from across Europe and the US discuss challenges and solutions to political and economic stability, security, growth, governance and integration on a country and regional level, especially focusing on vulnerable Southern and Eastern European states.

In this provocative study, economist Ernesto Screpanti argues that imperialismOCofar from disappearing or mutating into a benign OC globalizationOCOOCohas in fact entered a new phase, which he terms OC global imperialism.OCO This is a phase defined by multinational firms cut loose from the nation-state framework and free to chase profits over the entire surface of the globe. No longer dependent on nation-states for building a political consensus that accommodates capital accumulation, these firms seek to bend governments to their will and destroy barriers to the free movement of capital. And while military force continues to play an important role in imperial strategy, it is the discipline o...

Come si vive oggi in Italia? Dove sta andando il Paese, e perché? Una riflessione sui vizi e sulle virtù degli Italiani nei giorni della globalizzazione.Vizi che stanno portando la Penisola sempre più indietro rispetto agli altri Paesi. E virtù dimenticate e sbeffeggiate.La sociobiologia insegna che se è vero che all'interno di un gruppo l'egoismo batte l'altruismo, i gruppi altruistici battono i gruppi egoistici.Un Paese di "fessi"va meglio di un Paese di furbi. Per tornare a crescere occorre riscoprire le virtù dimenticate. Dare di nuovo importanza all'etica, e smettere di premiare i comportamenti amorali. Dare di nuovo importanza all'istruzione, e premiare il merito. Ascoltare le donne e dare loro quello che chiedono - lavoro e servizi - per risolvere il problema demografico e accrescere il Pil e il benessere.L'Italia di sempre è la versione aggiornata di alcuni capitoli di Che cosa si dice dell'Italia.

La cattiva economia è come la cattiva medicina: può fare molto male, anzi peggio. In Italia, paese per certi versi unico, un'impostazione troppo umanistica sembra rendere la logica economica impossibile da comprendere e i dati inavvicinabili, lasciando troppo spazio a libere interpretazioni di concetti, politiche, istituzioni, meccanismi di mercato e di intervento statale. Fino, addirittura, a raccontare favole. E a darli i numeri, anziché interpretarli. L'intento del libro è discutere gli aspetti più caldi della situazione italiana proprio facendoci esercitare, in modo brioso, non paludato, a un metodo di analisi. Non ci sono lezioni, nel libro, ma forza espositiva, vis polemica e qualche indicazione che può essere utile a molti.

This book explores the debate on the policies required to overcome the crises of 2008 and 2011, in which the focus on short-term measures has overshadowed the need to analyze the low growth rate in the European Union, and especially the Eurozone, as the basis for interventions that will counteract the tendency toward stagnation. Factors that lie at the root of the low growth are examined in depth, covering, for example, the impact of the demographic trend toward an aging population in Europe, consequences of inequality for growth, challenges posed by technological change, competition from emerging countries, and difficulties in improving European governance. In addition, potential actions to...
