Understanding the Global Success of Populist Leaders
How can over 60 million Americans be willing to vote for Donald Trump—a figure widely seen as unfit to serve as President of the United States—in the upcoming November 5 election?

In this issue of Eco, leading economists, political scientists, journalists, and public commentators share their perspectives, offering valuable comparisons between trends on both sides of the Atlantic.

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.

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.

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.
