• Sommario/riassunto: This is the tenth chapter of a forthcoming monograph entitled, "On Implementing Full- Fledged Inflation-Targeting Regimes: Saying What You Do and Doing What You Say." It describes the experiences of a number of countries with the introduction and implementation of inflation targeting regimes. It discusses their motivation for introducing IT; how they fared in meeting the various conditions that some have argued are needed in advance of introducing IT; how they transitioned to a full-fledged IT framework and coordinated their preparations with other economic policies and reforms; the benefits they gained by adopting IT; the challenges they faced in implementation; and the lessons from their experiences.

• Sommario/riassunto: In a world where social complexity defies linear explanation, this book offers a groundbreaking methodology for understanding how and why societies transform. At its core is a systematic repertoire of 48 causal mechanisms—from individual psychology to institutional dynamics—providing powerful analytical tools for decoding social change. This interdisciplinary framework transcends traditional boundaries, integrating insights from sociology, political science, economics, philosophy, and history into a unified language for the social sciences. ; Moving beyond abstract theory, Bellanca demonstrates how to identify ‘sufficient causes’—the decisive factors that, when present, guarantee specific social outcomes. The book progresses from individual mechanisms through conceptual frameworks to middle-range theories, offering both rigorous analysis and practical applications. Whether examining the rise of populism, institutional collapse, or collective mobilization, these tools reveal the hidden patterns driving social transformation. Essential for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, this work provides not just understanding but actionable insights for those seeking to navigate—and influence—our rapidly changing world. Nicolò Bellanca is Associate Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Florence, specializing in institutional analysis and collective decision-making. His interdisciplinary research bridges economics, sociology, and political science. Author of Isocracy: The Institution of Equality (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019), he examines how formal rules and community dynamics shape inclusive governance. >.
