“Here There Is No Gold Standard. Cows Are the Standard”. Multiple Currencies, Colonial Taxation and Monetary Transition in Upper Ghana (1896–1936)
No full textCristofaro analyses monetary practices in Upper Ghana to assess if the region transitioned to colonial currency in the first forty years of British colonial rule. Focusing on the inefficacy of the early taxation policies and revealing the actual use of British coins in the everyday commercial transactions, he demonstrates that the area never shifted to a single currency system. The chapter shows the ways Africans were able to adapt to colonial coinage and insert it in their economic life. From smuggling to agiotage and exploitation of exchanges rates, the author shows the role and use of nickel and silver coins in the African markets, concluding that traders and buyers embedded colonial coins among the other currencies, limiting in this way their circulation
Growth forecast errors during the euro crisis: what was the cause?, 11 March
No full textWhat was the cause of the serious growth forecast errors during the Euro crisis? According to the former IMF Chief economist Olivier Blanchard it was an underestimation of the “Keynesian multipliers”, which also led to understate the contractionary effects of austerity. Alberto Alesina, Carlo Favero and Francesco Giavazzi aim for a confutation of this argument and in their new book suggest an alternative interpretation. Emiliano Brancaccio and Fabiana De Cristofaro - author and co-author of “Anti-Blanchard Macroeconomics” - take side with the French economist this time, providing new empirical evidence that supports his point

Il Sole e le Stelle nel Nido di Rebibbia
No full textIl linguaggio universale della fiaba, che ancora oggi affascina ed è veicolo di culture e tradizioni, può trasformare uno spazio chiuso, come un Istituto penitenziario, in un luogo vissuto, partecipato, dove emozioni e sentimenti sono lasciati liberi di esprimersi dalle madri e dai loro bambini provenienti dai differenti Paesi del mondo.
Nel Nido dell’Istituto femminile della Casa Circondariale di Rebibbia la fiaba, come dimostra questa raccolta di quindici fiabe, si è rivelata un mezzo straordinario per coltivare la relazione, per promuovere un'educazione interculturale, per allenare la mente al viaggio, per essere "in transito" e in divenire. Le donne - madri, per la maggior parte straniere, riscoprono la stagione dell’infanzia per rigenerarsi, confrontarsi, condividere, per donarla a loro volta ai propri figli
