Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] For a long time the doctors of the company. whether they are economists or politicians, they have focused on the symptoms rather than on the causes of the social malaise that creeps ever more deeply into European society. The socio-economic reforms introduced by neo-liberals, far from being inspired by the intention to go to the root of the ills that determine the insecurity, loneliness, exclusion, poverty in which each of us comes across daily for the streets of our cities, reinforce the causes of general malaise. [...] On the basis of this reflection, the thesis that emerges forcefully from the interviews collected in this volume is that to curb the widespread victory of the neoliberal ideology it is necessary to find the courage and the ability to propose a radically different form of society from the one that sees the market as the only polar star to follow in the complex landscape from a rigid paradigm to a flexible one. Finding answers to questions like What is a well-run society? Is it still possible to reason on how to configure an inclusive social cooperation system that respects people's needs? Which structural structural policies could facilitate the return of a robust committed civil society, capable of playing a primary role in economic projections?
