L’Analisi economica del corporatismo: cooperazione per la produzione o per l'acquisizione di rendita?
No full textCorporatism is a multidimensional social phenomenon combining sociological, political, legal and economic features with cultural and psychological ones. This essay focuses on its economics, namely its relation to the efficient creation of private and public wealth. In market economies there are two basic alternative modes of coordinating the economic activities of individual agents: competition and cooperation. Organized cooperation for the promotion of group interests may be aimed either at production or at rent acquisition. The impact of corporatism on the efficient creation of wealth will be neutral or positive in the first case, and negative in the second. As expected on the basis of this reasoning, no attempt to empirically estimate some general relationship between corporatist institutions as such and economic performance has produced so far univocal results. The relative extension of (corporatist) cooperation versus (non-corporatist) competition in a given political economy is linked to its specific rules, institutions and public policies, and the extent to which corporatist cooperation is directed towards rent acquisition instead of production, or viceversa, depends crucially on the structure of incentives embedded in them
An Economist’s plaidoyer for a secular ethics: the moral foundation and social role of critical rationalism
No full textThe Fiscal State, the market and the citizens' moral capacity in the secularized society
No full textThe claims in this essay are of three types, philosophical, historical and sociological. The basic philosophical claim concerns the concepts of social solidarity, moral capacity, secular-scientific worldview, and their relationships. Social solidarity means respect for the interests of the other human beings, as interests having in society the same value as one’s own. Moral capacity means
believing in moral values, where these are universal principles giving an absolute
meaning to human life. In this sense a person may possess social solidarity and yet no real moral capacity, while the secular-scientific worldview is intrinsically devoid of moral values because it has no room for absolute meanings. However, individual
liberty-independence, properly defined, is the only absolute meaning of human life,
and thus the only moral value, compatible with the secular worldview. The basic
historical claim is that in the west, following the transition from feudal-aristocratic to capitalist-liberal societies, the secular worldview, driven by the power of scientific-technological progress, has eroded the metaphysical, religious and ideological ones, becoming the dominant ingredient of culture and institutions. Since the secularization process tends to destroy values without replacing them, contemporary liberal capitalist and secularized societies tend to become societies without values. The basic sociological claim concerns the unique power of individual real moral capacity in guiding behaviour. The ordinary citizen’s recognition of individual liberty-independence as the only public moral value is a necessary condition for ensuring the good functioning of the public and private economies and of liberal political institutions, where "good" means consistent with the safeguarding of individual liberty-independence as a universal ethical principle in all social interactions. If this individual moral capacity is too weak, or shared by too few people, no system of rules, organization and management of government power and market forces, however perfected, will ever be capable of ensuring that “good” functioning
"Il vero cavaliere" di Giuseppe Gorini Corio: una satira virtuosa
No full textRipe fruit of the dramatic production of the author, Il vero cavaliere translates to the scene most of the reflections that Gorini Corio deepened during his theoretical work, and make it not only in the content, but through a rhetoric that shows in actu exercito that it is possible combine truth and charity, reason and religion. The comedy is part of the educational program of the author, in an effort to propose a theater closer to the truth and able to educate the people, according the aspirations of the Lombard Enlightenment of the Eighteenth century , but without forgetting the lessons of the theater and the treatises of the previous centur
Search for new phenomena in high-mass diphoton final states using 37 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions collected at root(s) = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textSearches for new phenomena in high-mass diphoton final states with the
ATLAS experiment at the LHC are presented. The analysis is based on pp
collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.7 fb(-1)
at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 13 TeV recorded in 2015 and 2016.
Searches are performed for resonances with spin 0, as predicted by
theories with an extended Higgs sector, and for resonances with spin 2,
using a warped extra-dimension model as a benchmark model, as well as
for non-resonant signals, assuming a large extra-dimension scenario. No
significant deviation from the Standard Model is observed. Upper limits
are placed on the production cross section times branching ratio to two
photons as a function of the resonance mass. In addition, lower limits
are set on the ultraviolet cutoff scale in the large extra-dimensions
model. (C) 2017 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V
