Home Has Become a Mirage
With soaring prices in major cities and no real housing policy, home has become the new symbol of inequality
In Italy, having a home remains a universal aspiration, yet the state invests far too little to address the housing emergency. Fear of appearing to help immigrants or municipalities run by “opposing” political coalitions has stalled any meaningful action. The housing plan announced by Giorgia Meloni will only work if it truly delivers affordable student housing and public units—projects that have been stalled since the old Fanfani plan. Housing is fundamentally an issue of equality, mobility, and social cohesion. And it needs to be treated as such.

Overcrowding fuels recidivism: why a purely punitive prison system makes society less safe We know far too little about what really happens inside prisons. In this issue of eco, we look beyond the walls of our penitentiary system and let the data speak. The overwhelming majority of inmates serve their sentences in severely overcrowded facilities. This is a chronic problem that calls for structural interventions, including the construction of new prisons. It is not only a matter of upholding constitutional principles in the treatment of those who have committed crimes, but also of ensuring greater safety for society as a whole. Overcrowding and recidivism are in fact two sides of the same coin: a purely punitive prison risks becoming a training ground for crime. By contrast, where detention conditions are better, inmates can take part in work and rehabilitation programs that support reintegration and significantly reduce the likelihood of reoffending.Select options This product has multiple variants.

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.

Who Will Pay for Trump’s Tariffs?
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
How Trade Wars Could Impact Income and Inflation Trump’s second presidency is shaping up to be even more aggressive than the first, with no restraints. His trade policies are driven by a mercantilist view of the economy, a narrow understanding of global interdependencies, and the interests of Big Tech. Will tariffs be used as a mere bargaining chip, or will they be enforced indiscriminately, sparking new trade wars? How will they affect income and inflation? What should we expect in key trade conflicts – between the U.S. and China, North America, Europe, and emerging markets? And what role can the European Union play? Italy, on its own, has little influence.Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page -

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.
