A brief history of the future of the united states of Europe. E-book. Formato EPUB Gianni Pittella - Fazi Editore, 2013 -
2012 will be remembered as a turning point in the history of European integration. Somewhat reluctantly, after flirting for years with dangerous and probably unviable alternatives, Angela Merkel’s Germany seems to have made peace with the idea that that the only way to save the euro is to create a genuine European “political union”: the United States of Europe. Following Hollande’s election in France, the grip of neoliberalism and austerity on the continent is slowly but unrelentingly easing. A fiscal and monetary union cannot survive if it is not backed by a full-blown federal state capable of (partly) assuming the debts of individual nation states; of issuing eurobonds through a federal Treasury; of spearheading a radical reform of the international monetary system; and much more. Europe cannot surrender itself, and the world, to the overwhelming power of global finance: on the contrary, it should champion an international agreement to put an end to unregulated capital and financial flows. Tightly regulating financial traffic is nowadays as crucial as controlling air traffic. Moreover, Europe needs to rapidly develop an ambitious, continent-wide employment-enhancing strategy. The neoliberal policies thus pursued – based on the principle that first comes austerity, then growth – have proven to be a colossal failure. We have to go back to Keynes, who flipped the theory over: investments create savings, income and employment.
Third World War?: A Geopolitical Reading of the Financial Crisis. E-book. Formato EPUB Elido Fazi - Fazi Editore, 2012 -
Is it true that the 2008 financial crisis was worse than the Great Depression of 1929? Why did the Italian writer Andrea Camilleri recently claim that World War III has just started, albeit in a "soft version"? Why did a business magnate like George Soros – “the man who broke the Bank of England" – recently accuse the Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein of being“evil”? What does Italy’s PM Mario Monti, who was a Goldman Sachs international advisor for years, think of all this? And, above all, can the USA - the world’s most indebted and least competitive nation if you look at the relationship between imports and exports – come out of this crisis without engaging in a new war? Why did the US President Obama authorize sanctions targeting Iran's central bank and financial sector? Is it because Iran dared to open its own Oil Bourse trading in currencies other than the dollar? These are just some of the themes that run through this book, whose aim is to analyze the deep causes of the US and European crisis, in the context of the increasingly dangerous rise of countries like China and India.
Ouzo amaro: La vera storia della tragedia greca. E-book. Formato EPUB Nissirio Patrizio - Fazi Editore, 2012 -
La crisi economica della Grecia si è presto tramutata in un terremoto sociale, un sisma che scuote la vita delle famiglie, delle imprese, dell’intera organizzazione della società. Con Ouzo amaro Patrizio Nissirio si avventura nei numeri della crisi ellenica, quelli del debito pubblico, quelli delle richieste della comunità internazionale, della disoccupazione, del PIL in picchiata, raccontando le cause antiche e recenti di questa catastrofe che tuttora rischia di contagiare il resto d’Europa. Da un sistema politico opaco e clientelare che impera da almeno tre decenni alla diffusa corruzione, dall’ambiguità dei paesi stranieri che danno lezioni ad Atene, ma continuano a curare in maniera spesso spregiudicata i propri interessi, al ruolo delle grandi banche d’affari nei giochi contabili che hanno spinto la Grecia a un passo dal collasso. Un libro anche personale, che vuole narrare la Grecia di questi anni dall’interno, raccontando la cultura e la società di questo Paese, così drammatico nei suoi fenomeni, contraddittorio ed affascinante.
