Skyward Cities
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.

The European Opportunity
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
A more united Europe can become a leader among non-aligned countries, attract global talent, and strengthen the role of the euro Today, Europe has a unique opportunity to position itself as a global reference point, thanks to its independence from rival geopolitical blocs. But to seize this moment, it must become stronger and push forward decisively with deeper integration. That’s why, before welcoming new Eastern European countries, the EU needs to reform the rules that currently allow any member state to block decisions with a single veto. On the 40th anniversary of the Schengen Agreement, the European Union could also take a major step forward by introducing a shared social security code – an important move to strengthen the European identity that, for many young people, is already a natural part of their daily lives.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.

Will the Lights Go Out?
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Why electricity costs so much in Italy and what we can do to keep the lights on while waiting for large-scale energy storage Yes, just like children, we should be a little afraid of the dark. Blackouts, whether brief or prolonged, local or widespread, are becoming more and more common across Europe, disrupting a society that has never been so dependent on electricity. To lower this risk, we need a more diverse energy mix — one that can balance shortfalls in one source by increasing another. Just as crucial is strengthening the interconnection between Europe’s power grids. Turning away from Europe’s decarbonization goals, following the lead of the United States, would be a serious mistake.Select options This product has multiple variants.
