No full textTecnologia e sviluppo economico in Italia
No full textThis paper argues that technological factors have not played a central role in the Italian economic development. Not surprisingly, economists and historians have devoted scant attention to this issue.

Verso una dittatura del rating? I rischi di un uso spregiudicato del feedback*
No full textLe tecnologie digitali hanno facilitato la generazione di commenti sulla prestazione di prodotti e servizi, riducendo in tal modo le asimmetrie informative esistenti e potenziando al contempo l’efficacia della “voce” evocata da Albert Hirschman.

The essay clearly show that these themes have never been abandoned and systematically re-emerge - especially during periods of economic crisis - as powerful explanatory factors behind the structural fragility of the Italian econom
