Does size matter? Europe seems to think so. The idea of creating European industrial champions is making a comeback. The logic is tempting: bigger companies, greater scale, stronger competitors on the global stage. But there's a catch. What if making companies bigger ends up undermining the very competition that makes them competitive? Industrial policy and competition policy need not be at odds. The former can help build industrial capabilities, while the latter ensures that companies remain under pressure to innovate and improve. And perhaps the tension between the two isn't a problem to be solved, but a safeguard worth preserving. Europe needs champions. But the real challenge is making sure they're competitive ones, not merely protected ones.

Nelle Foreste Siberiane

Abbandonare tutto per sei mesi, vivere nella taiga siberiana tagliando legna, bevendo vodka e leggendo. Svegliarsi con panorami sconfinati in chilometri di solitudine. E poi scrivere, cercando di restituire tutto questo a chi non l'ha mai vissuto, fermo nella frenesia della vita in società. Il prodotto di tutto questo è il diario di Sylvain Tesson "Nelle foreste siberiane", in un libro che chiede a gran voce di fermarsi a riflettere, di guardarsi attorno, solo, e lasciarsi avvolgere.
Ore 23:45, l’aria si è fatta fredda e il cielo non promette nulla di buono. Sono con un mio amico, siamo in macchina a fumare l’ultima sigaretta nel parcheggio della chiesetta vicino a casa mia. Tutto attorno tace; la…

Of frogs and men

Since its coinage by than Richard Spencer in 2008, the words “alt-right” had been sitting in the margins of internet forums when they suddenly rose to fame during the 2016 presidential election. Both traditional media and mainstream political establishments were unable to define the new phenomenon, and to deal with it. The political community was left facing a Weimarian dilemma: was it more harmful to ignore the growing violent voices, or to listen to them?

Violence is Never the Answer in Democratic Politics

On the 17th of October Milano was overwhelmed by protesters. Among the vastly peaceful demonstrators, a dangerous minority employed violent tactics against people and buildings in the city center. The city, my city, was left burnt and scarred. In this article, I make the case that political violence in democratic policy is never a legitimate and effective tool for social change.

So, Where Are You From?

“Where are you from?” For most people, it is a simple question with a simple answer. But what happens when home has never been just one place? From Saudi Arabia and Dubai to Singapore, Bahrain, the UK and now Italy, growing up across different countries can make the idea of belonging more complicated than it seems. Between navigating cultural identities, building friendships and learning to embrace the unfamiliar, each place leaves behind experiences that shape who we become. But does having roots in multiple countries mean never truly belonging to one, or does it mean finding a little piece of home everywhere?

Perché abbiamo ancora bisogno dei classici greci

Che cosa può raccontarci Euripide del mondo in cui viviamo? La guerra, il potere, la condizione delle donne e di chi viene considerato straniero. Nelle sue tragedie ritroviamo domande che continuano a interrogarci; tornare ai classici significa ascoltare voci lontane capaci di mettere in discussione le nostre certezze. L'articolo è un viaggio nell’antica Grecia per capire perché abbiamo ancora bisogno dei suoi classici.
Può apparire superfluo parlare di antica Grecia in un mondo in cui regna sovrana la tecnologia e il suo progresso, in cui tutto è così dinamico e in continua evoluzione. Eppure, dovremmo soffermarci a pensare a come siamo arrivati…
