Adair Turner became chairman of Britain's Financial Services Authority just as the global financial crisis struck in 2008, and he played a leading role in redesigning global financial regulation. In this eye-opening book, he sets the record straight about what really caused the crisis. It didn’t happen because banks are too big to fail—our addiction to private debt is to blame. Between Debt and the Devil challenges the belief that we need credit growth to fuel economic growth, and that rising debt is okay as long as inflation remains low.

Secondo studi recenti la Russia ha la quota più alta al mondo di dark money, soldi opachi detenuti all’estero: un trilione di dollari. Si stima che un quarto di questi sia collegato a Vladimir Putin e a suoi stretti associati, e il Cremlino sembra sempre più capace di pilotare operazioni aggressive. L'Italia è uno dei pezzi di questo grande gioco: gli oligarchi russi in Italia investono e comprano grandi proprietà. Agiscono portando avanti attività che sono a volte al confine con lo spionaggio.

What if everything we’ve been told about addiction is wrong? One of Johann Hari’s earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not being able to. As he grew older, he realised there was addiction in his family. Confused, he set out on a three-year, thirty-thousand mile journey to discover what really causes addiction – and how to solve it. Told through a series of gripping human stories, this audiobook was the basis of a TED talk and animation that have been viewed more than twenty million times. It has transformed the global debate about addiction.

Story
Mani pulite ha segnato una rottura senza precedenti nella recente storia italiana. A distanza di trent'anni, Piercamillo Davigo ne ripercorre le tappe, ricostruisce tutti i tentativi messi in atto per indebolire i processi, traccia un bilancio - decisamente amaro - dei frutti di quella stagione.

Story
Immaginate un paese in cui si ripete costantemente "che c'entriamo noi col fascismo?" e "ma poi, anche se fosse, tanto non era una dittatura, anzi ha fatto pure qualche cosa di buono". Immaginate un paese dove il crollo del fascismo viene chiamato anche 'morte della patria', dove la Resistenza diventa un'eredità scomoda da nascondere quanto prima nella soffitta della memoria. Ecco, ora immaginate di mettere alla prova dei fatti queste parole che sono diventate quasi senso comune.

Story
Quando diciamo: "Prima gli italiani!" cosa intendiamo? Chi ha la cittadinanza italiana o chi in Italia ci abita? Chi parla italiano? Chi ha genitori italiani o chi in Italia ci è nato? E non è la prima volta che ci poniamo questa domanda: ha cominciato Dante con la ‘serva Italia’; poi d’Azeglio con gli ‘italiani da fare’; e ancora, i ‘santi, poeti e navigatori’; gli ‘italiani nuovi’ fascisti o ‘gli italiani brava gente’. Urliamo questo slogan in un paese dai confini incerti, diviso tra nord e sud, est e ovest, città e campagna.

Story
Há quinze anos que a economia de Portugal não cresce. Apesar da expansão nos anos de 1950 a 1973 e da segunda metade da década de 1980, assim como de uma evolução razoável após a intervenção da troika e antes da Covid-19, o PIB per capita estagnou desde 2005. Dado este comportamento medíocre, a economia portuguesa tem divergido face à média europeia e os indicadores sociais do país têm melhorado muito lentamente.
O presente ensaio actualiza uma radiografia crucial iniciada em 2010...
