Business & Commerce

How national and global markets are evolving? What are the challenges for companies, small and big ones? A comparison between countries and cultures in a world that is not always so flat.

A recipe for growth

⇆ Ormai è chiaro che la nostra classe politica è del tutto incapace di far crescere questo Paese. Lo hanno dimostrato gli ultimi governi e non si può dire che non ci abbiano fatto sperimentare di tutto: centrodestra, centrosinistra, governi politici e tecnici, più una serie di improbabili coalizioni che non hanno tuttavia sortito al [...]

Drunk Bonds

Generally I do not publish texts taken from other sites. All articles on this blog are original, they have been written by me or by other authors whom I occasionally host on « The Independent». This story, which has been shared on the web for a while, however, explains so clearly the causes of the current financial crisis, that [...]

The easy way and the hard way

It's been more than fifteen months since I wrote «But is it really necessary to continue to grow?». In that article I asked myself if the model to pursue was really that of a continued economic growth, or rather it would better to build one based on quality of life and satisfying everybody's basic needs. My conclusion was that the cur [...]

As you should not make offers

⇆ Ieri ho ricevuto il seguente messaggio di posta elettronica dal Programma Millemiglia dell'Alitalia: Gentile DARIO DE JUDICIBUS, in occasione dell'elezione del nuovo Papa, il Programma MilleMiglia ti offre un'opportunità davvero imperdibile per trascorrere un soggiorno a Roma e festeggiare questo evento unico.

The price of nothing

What a box of chocolates with coffee and an anti-wrinkle gel have in common? Two different brands, two completely different products, purchased in two different shops. Nothing, you might say. Yet they have something in common and you have just to open the two boxes to immediately realize it: in both packages there is a small cardboard bulkh [...]

Nevercrisis

⇆ Quanto è successo con il Monte dei Paschi di Siena non deve affatto sorprendere e in effetti non ha sorpreso nessuno degli addetti ai lavori. Non si tratta di un caso isolato ma di un problema di politica bancaria che ha acceso un segnale d'allarme sul sistema creditizio italiano. Il problema tuttavia delle relazioni che ogg [...]

Sky: a loosing service

It is already several years I am a Sky customer and all things considered I do not get badly with regard their television offering. I am mainly interested to movies and television series — in particular Sci-Fi and Fox's — as well as I really love documentaries, especially by National Geographic and Discovery Channel. It is [...]

A book is forever

It seems now to be an established fact that sooner or later the digital publishing will replace the paper. The advantages are many, both for publishers and authors, but what about readers? Well, lower prices, the possibility of carrying around a whole library in a tablet as big as a paperback... you would say «yes, for them too» even if in [...]

The Wealth of a Country

The wealth of a country is based in the productive economy, that is, the ability of that country to produce goods and services and to generate a good demand for them, both internally and, especially, abroad. The most effective and popular strategy of production nowadays is called mass customization and it has the objective to mee [...]

Finance is killing the Economy

Introduction It is for several years now that our economy is in crisis. Not just the old Europe, but even the United States which, because of the fall of the Soviet Union, found themselves for some time the only Great Power in the world, as well as China now, which seemed to be launched toward an unprecedented economic growth, are facing a [...]

State, Church and Banks: th...

⇆ Tre esempi di poteri forti, quelli che Monti afferma non esistere nel nostro Paese: lo Stato, la Chiesa, le Banche. Lo Stato Immagini tratte da fonti varie in rete Il primo: di fronte alla richiesta del Codacons, l’Associazione Nazionale dei Consumatori, di rendere pubblici i dati relativi alle spese relative alla par [...]

Italianate megastructures

⇆ All'EUR, a Roma, stanno costruendo due grattacieli. Ci passo davanti quasi ogni giorno e devo dire che più li guardo e meno mi piacciono. Ovviamente è un'opinione strettamente personale ma, se facciamo il confronto con quelli che vengono costruiti in molti Paesi sia industrializzati che emergenti, direi che non ne usciamo poi così [...]

Sustainable Fashion

Dario de Judicibus talks about fashion, ethics, sustainability and total reality in the III Forum on Fashion in Milan, «Sustainable fashion: between creativity and technology».

A Perfect Murder

⇆ «Delitto perfetto» di Dario de Judicibus 3ª edizione, 2012, Amazon.it "Si tratta di un delitto." Quando Albert aveva aperto la porta della piccola mansarda nella quale abitava e che spuntava, come un'isoletta del Pacifico, in mezzo a un mare di tetti di cotto e di altane piastrellate, non si aspett [...]
