Domenico ha dodici anni ed è sempre vissuto nel villaggio dove è nato, ai piedi delle Dolomiti. Gli piace guardare le cime mentre va a scuola, dove ascolta, rapito, i racconti su Tom Sawyer, o attraversare i boschi mentre va al torrente a pescare, sognando avventure straordinarie. Ma da un po' di tempo tutti lo mettono in guardia, perché il rischio di imbattersi nell'orso di cui tanto si parla in giro è grande. Un orso ormai diventato una leggenda nella valle: terribile, gigantesco, feroce come da quelle parti non se ne vedevano più.

For more than a century, governments facing financial crisis have resorted to the economic policies of austerity—cuts to wages, fiscal spending, and public benefits—as a path to solvency. Today, an important question remains: What if solvency was never the goal? In The Capital Order, political economist Clara E. Mattei explores the intellectual origins of austerity to uncover its originating motives: the protection of capital—and indeed capitalism—in times of social upheaval from below.

"A cosa pensa una donna quando, assordata dalle voci di tutti, capisce all’improvviso di aver soffocato la propria?" In pochi come Matteo Bussola sanno raccontare, con tanta delicatezza e profondità, le contraddizioni dei rapporti umani. In pochi sanno cogliere con tale pudore il nostro desiderio e la nostra paura di essere felici. Una donna sola che in tarda età scopre l’amore. Una figlia che lotta per riuscire a perdonare sua madre. Una ragazza che invece non vuole figli, perché non sopporterebbe il loro dolore. Una vedova che scrive al marito.

Questo libro ribalta il racconto consueto dell'economia da cui siamo intossicati e rivela, ripercorrendo una lunga storia che dal fascismo arriva fino ai giorni nostri, quanta e che politica si nasconde dietro le scelte economiche.

Nel 2022 ha scritto un libro in lingua inglese (The Capital Order), inserito dal «Financial Times» tra le dieci pubblicazioni più influenti dell'anno a tema economico.

Margherita e Marcello si conoscono su un treno. Lei sta scappando dalla sua famiglia, lui vi sta facendo ritorno. Seduti l'uno di fronte all'altro, su un vagone affollato, tra bambini che giocano e anziani che hanno voglia di chiacchierare, i due si prendono le misure. Parlano di rapporti di coppia, di figli, di sogni e fragilità, di promesse mantenute oppure dimenticate. Due persone dalle esistenze apparentemente ordinarie, familiari al punto che ci sembrano le nostre. E che, nella realtà parallela del viaggio, scoprono una parte inedita, inconfessabile, di sé.

This is the first book to trace the fascinating parallel history of law and science from antiquity to modern times, showing how the two disciplines have always influenced each other - until recently. In the past few years, the scientific paradigm has shifted dramatically, from seeing the natural world as a kind of cosmic machine to understanding it as a network of fluidly interacting communities.
