Sommario/riassunto

The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the weaknesses of globalisation, exposed the fragility of the current growth model, and accelerated the ongoing tech revolution. This book is an in-depth analysis of these weaknesses and fragilities in the context of sustainability. Economist Marco Magnani suggests the possibility of pursuing a more balanced,



environmentally and socially sustainable growth while defusing today's apocalyptic alarmism about climate change, energy and demographic constraints, and the future of work. To make the global economy work for everyone. Marco Magnani teaches International Economics and Monetary & Financial Economics at LUISS University in Rome and lectures on Dynamics of Innovation at Alta Scuola Politecnica of Polytechnics of Turin and Milan. He has been visiting fellow at the School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University and senior research fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School.
