Capitalismo di Rapina - Biondani, Gerevini, Malagutti
A metà anni duemila, una nuova "razza predona" di imprenditori spunta nel panorama italiano e tenta di fare le scarpe alla vecchia guardia. I tre autori mettono assieme il loro talento giornalistico per smascherarne le malefatte. Malefatte che hanno portato a qualche condanna penale, ma soprattutto hanno segnalato la bassezza etica di questa nuova classe di finanzieri e dei politici che li appoggiavano.
In the mid 2000s, a new "predatory race" of enterprenaurs became famous in Italy. They tried to unseat the old guard. The three authors put together their journalism talent to discover their misconduct. Misconduct that was sometime punished by the justice system. But most importantly was a sign of the mediocre ethics of this new class of businessmen and the politicians that sponsored them.

A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking
Ogni tanto ci ricarso. Mi faccio attrarre da un libro di divulgazione scientifica. E poi ne capisco poco più della metà. Hawking non è un divulgatore semplice da digerire. Ma combina un genio assoluto ad un'ironia senza pari.
From time to time I make the same mistake. I buy a science paperback. And then I understand a little more than half of it. Hawking is not an easy read. But he combines absolute genius with superlative irony.

Camino Island - John Grisham
Un misterioso libraio. Manoscritti di Scott Fitzgerald rubati. Un'avvenente supplente di letteratura squattrinata. Un'isola tropicale. Quanto basta a Grisham per tenere il lettore incollato alle pagine.
A shady bookseller. The original manuscripts of Scott Fitzgerald that get stolen. A pretty and penniless literature teacher. A tropical island. That's enough for Grisham to keep the reader turning one page after the other.

Occidente Senza Utopie - Massimo Cacciari, Paolo Prodi
Di fronte all'avanzare di ideologie sovraniste e nazionaliste al suo interno e tecnocratiche se non dittatoriali in altre parti del mondo, cosa resta alla vecchia europa. Come si può ri-immaginare la politica, partendo dai fondamenti religiosi della profezia e laici dell'utopia. In due brevi saggi, Prodi e Cacciari invitano a riflettere per disegnare un nuovo futuro in cui i valori dell'individuo e collettività si concilino, anziché esacerbare in uno scontro di interessi.
Faced with the advance of nationalism in its own belly and technocratic or dictatorial governments in other parts of the world, what's left for the old continent. How can we re-imagine politics, starting from the religious foundation of profecy and the atheist utopia. In these two brief essays, Prodi and Cacciari, invite us to reflect. So that we can design a new future, where the values of individuals and society complement each other, instead of creating an endless fight of selfish interests.
