Unequal Health
People are living longer, but the inequality in aging is growing. There are increasing disparities in longevity and the chances of having a long, healthy life, influenced by income, occupation, and place of birth. Meanwhile, young people are facing rising levels of depression. Italy’s universal healthcare system faces significant challenges. During the pandemic, we received nearly 200 billion euros from Europe. It was expected that we would use these substantial resources to prepare for these challenges. Instead, emergency medicine is in a constant state of crisis, with shortages of doctors in many specialties and an even greater shortage of nurses. With the Recovery and Resilience National Plan, we have taken on an additional 123 billion euros of debt and have no more funds for healthcare. Despite this, there are still many improvements that can be made even with limited resources.

Skyward Cities
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
The rise of vertical cities and the struggle to govern them Today, two out of three people live in cities, and urbanization shows no signs of slowing down. Despite predictions that remote work and artificial intelligence would lead to emptying cities, the opposite has happened. Cities are expanding upward, becoming denser and more vertical. This trend makes them increasingly difficult to govern, with decision-making often gridlocked by conflicts of interest—even over the simplest issues. To ensure orderly growth and promote collective well-being, national governments—which have become less influential in the age of globalization—need to refocus their attention on their major cities.Select options This product has multiple variants.

War Economy
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
The arms industry drains resources from social programs. Economic measures can help shorten conflicts Donald Trump may dream of a Nobel Peace Prize, but the facts tell another story: conflicts from Ukraine to Gaza are only growing worse. How can we shorten them? Economic sanctions can slow the flow of weapons and military supplies, while the cynical recruitment of Russian soldiers—sent to die at Putin’s command—must be halted. In this context, the West needs to speak plainly: shut the door on dictators and oligarchs, but offer refuge to those fleeing oppressive regimes and refusing to be coerced into the war.Select options This product has multiple variants.

Transport in Turmoil
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.

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
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.Select options This product has multiple variants.
