This book is an investigation of the methodological and epistemological foundations of macroeconomic theory, based on an examination of the theories of Keynes and Lucas. It is divided into two parts. In the first Professor Vercelli discusses the methodological issues which lie behind the conflict among different schools of thought in macroeconomics (equilibrium and disequilibrium, risk and uncertainty, rationality and causality). These issues are central to the current debate not only in many branches of economics, but also in other scientific disciplines. The traditional point of view of science based on equilibrium, stability and determinism has been increasingly challenged by a new point of view in which disequilibrium, instability and uncertainty play a crucial role. This, the author argues, is bound to put macroeconomics in a new, more promising position. In the second part of the book the author compares the two main alternative research programmes in macroeconomics: that outlined by Keynes in his 'General Theory', and that suggested by Lucas, the leader of the new classical economists

La guerra si propone di cancellare il pluralismo dell'esistenza individuale e col-lettiva, la differenza, l'alterità. La guerra, alimentata dalla razionalità utilitaria della modernità, rende gli individui perfettamente anonimi e, pertanto, esclusi-vamente funzionali ad una macchina di insensata distruzione. In una società evo-lutiva e inclusiva, ovvero basata sulla generazione di cittadinanze attive, il con-flitto è invece parte integrante nei processi di emancipazione. Si tratta però di restituire alla politica il suo ruolo di telos civile e sociale non con un generico richiamo alla partecipazione, bensì con la condivisione della necessità di un pensiero critico, l'unico che possa fondare comunità etiche basate sulla solida-rietà. Il conflitto si colloca in esse non come elemento dilacerante bensì come fat-tore generativo di appartenenze non esclusiviste.

AbstractThe context had radically changed when Economic Notes entered its third decade of activity. Specifically, the 1990s seemed to carry along a wave of conformity and of endangered pluralism in economic thought behind the mounting neoliberal economics mainstream. This paper reviews how the task of preserving pluralism in economic thought was resolutely pursued at Monte dei Paschi's publishing venture by placing the Journal on impartial grounds and keeping the door open to diversity.

En el artículo se analiza el caso Facebook Inc. - Cambridge Analytica, uno de los mejores ejemplos para observar como algunas de las principales corporaciones tecnológicas utilizan ilegalmente los datos personales de millones de usuarios de las redes sociales para hacer campañas electorales e influir sobre el voto popular. Entre otras preguntas que se responden en el artículo, ¿cuán legal / ilegal resultaron estas prácticas? ¿Se trató de un caso excepcional o, en realidad, es el corazón de los modelos de negocios de las corporaciones tecnológicas? El modelo de negocio de Facebook Inc. favoreció que ciertas empresas asociadas-afiliadas (entre otras, Cambridge Analytica, AggregateIQ, Palantir) hicieran uso ilegal de los datos personales de millones de usuarios con la clara intención de desinformar y manipular a las poblaciones. El artículo forma parte de una investigación mayor sobre las regulaciones en Internet y los cambios que la era digital está trayendo para las democracias. ; The paper analyzes the case of Facebook Inc. - Cambridge Analytica, one of the best examples to observe how some of the major technological corporations illegally use personal data of millions of social networks users to run electoral campaigns and influence the popular vote.
