This paper, which is finally out in @Finance and Society, is the outcome of many many discussions in Cologne, Florence, Montreal, Bremen, Pavia, Napoli and more. Working with my friend Gabriele Beretta has been a pleasure and we hope it will spark interesting discussions (it's also open access)!

We also underline how this push for investment (desperately needed, don't get us wrong) is often framed in ways that delegitimise space for other forms of public spending, abusing the limits of the technical distinction and disregarding the demand effects that "consumption" spending has.

We focus on the technical construction of an important distinction, i.e. the one between consumption spending and investment spending, and we highlight how the distinction between the two is much more constructed and politically driven than a simple technical typology.

The book underlines the intertwining between structural power and international dependencies and the aiding role of free trade reforms in favoring this world order in the 19th century (with interesting parallels with today). An important read!

The book is a powerful reconstruction of the role that liberal reform played in creating and sustaining the power of a dominating hegemonic class sitting at the core of the capitalist system.

Stamattina è uscito sul Fatto Quotidiano questo mio pezzo in cui commento l'approvazione della Commissione Europea del budget francese. La Commissione sembra sempre soprassedere sulle violazioni francesi dei target, anche grazie alla capacità dei tecnici francesi nel dialogo con la Commissione

However, the current government is trying to shutdown this awareness in a very clumsy, yet dangerous way. In the last months, the government has been actively restricting spaces for dissent (not only in this field) and discrediting the voices asking for change and reflection on machismo in Italy.
