Somiglianze
L’autrice tratteggia una storia intricata familiare vessata dalle separazioni e dal rancore, da silenzi e da un vuoto riempito di dubbi e paranoie. Molti sono i risvolti psicologici, infatti, l’analisi è soprattutto ricamata sulle emozioni dei suoi personaggi, in particolare da quella di Veronica e di sua figlia Maria Luce, attorno alle quali si stringono i restanti componenti con altrettanti e ben definiti ruoli-cardine e compiti esistenziali. Colpi di scena e inaspettati risvolti tengono con il fiato sospeso… L’abbandono di una moglie e madre di famiglia scatena le sorti di un Universo che sembra voler ricucire le anime dilaniate proprio con lo stesso ago da sarto del papà Ernest...
La difficile storia con Noemi
Nicola Salvini ha avuto sempre la vita difficile, un po’ per il suo carattere schivo e un po’ per la cecità e sordità dei cultori delle cose dell’arte. Conosce Noemi che diventa sua musa e donna ideale della quale si innamora. Ma come nella realtà artistica trova molte difficoltà per emergere, cosi anche Noemi, donna amata e musa, diventerà l’indecisione di un rapporto difficile. Così, mentre la vita di Nicola si dipana fin da piccolo in un mondo ostile, e alla fine deciderà di finirla con l’arte, anche Noemi, sua musa e anche sostanza dell’arte, avrà un suo epilogo da scoprire.
Capital Movements and Corporate Dominance in Latin America
This book addresses the problems of Latin America, through two of the most important features of the post-Bretton Woods economic order, large corporations and weak financial markets. In turn, it shows that their impact on economic growth and development is feeble and short-lived. This resulted in income concentration and an extremely unequal distribution of wealth in the region.
International Banking in Global Perspective
Banks play the most vital role in the economy by acting as financial intermediaries and providing the necessary credit to fund consumption and investment, thereby effecting real economic activity.

Most notably, banking internationalisation has gained prominence in the last three decades. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of the business model, challenges and benefits of international banks. It features banks that are global and highlights their overseas activities. It documents the recent trends in international banking a...
Why the World Economy Needs a Financial Crash and Other Critical Essays on Finance and Financial Economics
The essays in this volume explain the key structural features of financial inflation that give rise to financial crisis. These features include excessive reliance on finance to maintain economic activity through rising asset prices. Reliance on asset inflation induces a preoccupation with property values and a new social divide between the asset-rich and the asset-poor that undermines the culture of the welfare state. When debt can no longer be supported by cash flow from asset markets, excess debt plunges economies into economic depression.
Household Finance
Household finance studies is a relatively recent field, exploring a growing understanding of how households make financial decisions relating to the functions of consumption, payment, risk management, borrowing and investing; how institutions provide goods and services to satisfy these financial functions of households; and how interventions by firms, governments and other parties affect the provision of financial services. This timely book analyses existing findings about household behavior as well as findings related to policy interventions. With international case studies, this book reviews a topic of global importance and brings a crucial up-to-date survey of the field for researchers and postgraduate students.
Rethinking Antifascism
Bringing together leading scholars from a range of nations, Rethinking Antifascism provides a fascinating exploration of one of the most vibrant sub-disciplines within recent historiography. Through case studies that exemplify the field’s breadth and sophistication, it examines antifascism in two distinct realms: after surveying the movement’s remarkable diversity across nations and political cultures up to 1945, the volume assesses its postwar political and ideological salience, from its incorporation into Soviet state doctrine to its radical questioning by historians and politicians. Avoiding both heroic narratives and reflexive revisionism, these contributions offer nuanced perspectives on a movement that helped to shape the postwar world.
Making Art History in Europe After 1945
This book analyses the intermeshing of state power and art history in Europe since 1945 and up to the present from a critical, de-centered perspective. Devoting special attention to European peripheries and to under-researched transnational cultural political initiatives related to the arts implemented after the end of the Second World War, the contributors explore the ways in which this relationship crystallised in specific moments, places, discourses and practices. They make the historic hegemonic centres of the discipline converse with Europe’s Southern and Eastern peripheries, from Portugal to Estonia to Greece. By stressing the margins’ point of view this volume rethinks the ideological grounds on which art history and the European Union have been constructed as well as the role played by art and culture in the very concept of ‘Europe.’
