When work is not enough
The two faces of the job market: more employment but lighter paychecks
Like in other countries, Italy is seeing record levels of employment. There are more salaried workers and an increase in permanent contracts. Yet, despite these statistics, many Italian families remain frustrated and dissatisfied, as their income is insufficient to escape poverty. Particularly for laborers, wages have diminished in purchasing power. The absence of a minimum wage, ineffective collective bargaining, and the diminished strength of unions—contrary to their outward portrayal—further exacerbate the situation.

Will We Ever Get to Retire?
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Managing Population Decline and Helping Younger Generations Invest for the Long Term To make our pension system sustainable amid falling birth rates, we need to take several steps – starting with stopping the constant rule changes and avoiding any further hikes in social security contributions. A better approach is to slow the decline in the number of contributors through a mix of policies, including public support for those who are not self-sufficient and stronger oversight of all pension schemes, especially professional pension funds.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 -

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.

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.
