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.

Can We Control Artificial Intelligence?
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Managing Its Impact on Social Interactions, the Economy, Employment, and Our Democracies There is widespread concern about how artificial intelligence might affect our lives—changing social interactions, the economy, jobs, health, information, and the functioning of our democracies. Leading scientists have called for a six-month pause on its development to better understand the path we are on. But technological progress isn’t something we should just passively witness. We have the power to shape and guide it. In this issue, we present ideas on how and where to take action to ensure artificial intelligence complements human work and improves well-being, this time without harming those with lower incomes.Select options This product has multiple variants.

The new boundaries of European economic sovereignty
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
In Europe, it is no longer feasible to separately address economic and geopolitical risks. We are confronted by ruthless dictators who manipulate energy resources as tools for political and military coercion; formidable powers like China, which fortify their influence in the Union’s new member states through strategic investments and trade relations; and long-standing allies like the United States, which have demonstrated their intent to prioritize their own geopolitical agendas, even at odds with European interests. How can we make Europe less susceptible to external manipulation, pressures, and shocks, while simultaneously mitigating the impact on the Union’s already tepid economic growth?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.

Working and Still Poor
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.
