How to Ease the Tax Burden and Make the System Fairer
No one enjoys paying taxes, even though they are essential to keeping the state running – especially when the system feels opaque and unfair. That’s why politicians often promise tax cuts they struggle to deliver. Yet there is room for improvement: in Italy, smaller-scale tax evasion could be curbed by encouraging compliance through incentives rather than relying mainly on enforcement, while the system could be made more balanced by taxing wealth more effectively, reforming inheritance taxes, and updating property valuations.

Working and Still Poor
6,50 €Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Without decent wages and effective support, a job is no longer enough to escape poverty – and policies to tackle it remain weak More and more Italians are struggling to make ends meet despite having a job, especially young people, women, and immigrants. This reality helps explain much of today’s youth distress. While unemployment at least offers the hope of escaping poverty by finding work, realizing that even a paycheck cannot cover basic needs creates deep frustration. By insisting that work alone is the way out of poverty, the government is ignoring a social emergency that risks becoming a matter of public order.Select options This product has multiple variants.

Transport in Turmoil
6,50 €Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Why Italy’s Summer of Gridlock Is No Accident Summer is the season that puts Italy’s transport system to the toughest test, exposing it to delays and breakdowns. Yet it would be wrong to think congestion—the real root of the problem—strikes only in the summer. It’s a year-round issue, especially in cities. The trouble is, Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan pours most of its funds into big new infrastructure projects, when a smarter strategy would be to “think small”: maintaining what already exists and, above all, strengthening local public transport, the daily lifeline for millions of people.Select options This product has multiple variants.

We Can’t Do Without Immigration
6,50 €Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
To Be Socially Acceptable, It Needs to Be Managed, Not Just Tolerated As promised to our readers, this issue of eco delves into immigration in all its complexities and contradictions. We increasingly rely on it to fill job vacancies and fund pensions, yet it remains a central concern for many. We don’t merely highlight the problems, government missteps, avoidable costs, unenforceable rules, or the gap between perceptions and reality regarding the number and identity of immigrants. We also aim to propose solutions that allow us to manage, rather than endure, immigration. From filling entry quotas to creating a pathway to citizenship and externalizing border control, we explore actionable strategies.Select options This product has multiple variants.

What Banks Do with Our Money
6,50 €Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
What Drives Their High Profits, How to Share Them with Savers, and What’s Driving the New Round of Banking M&A Bankers are among the most disliked – and envied – people in the world: they privatize profits and, in times of crisis, socialize losses. While bailouts can sometimes be unavoidable, they can be prevented with simple rules and strong, independent regulators. And profits, too, can be shared – not through one-off taxes, but by steadily lowering costs for customers and businesses. By contrast, heavy political involvement in banking M&A risks holding back the development of capital markets and reinforcing an economy still overly reliant on banks. Four years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we also revisit the country’s economy and the situation of refugees in Europe, caught between the desire to stay and the hope of returning home.Select options This product has multiple variants.
