La lettura è un gesto quotidiano, ma può diventare anche uno spazio di libertà. A partire da Leggere Lolita a Teheran di Azar Nafisi, questo podcast racconta come i libri possano offrire rifugio, confronto e resistenza.

In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations.

But in this important and timely book, Shiller argues that, rather than condemning finance, we need to reclaim it for the common good.
