The project, originally held in colaboration with Arcs-Arci, is now developing thanks to the help of the publishing house coessenza and aims at printing a first edition of copies of the DVD that will be available soon.
How corruption works in Italy? Probably, as it works anywhere else, so let's ignore formalities. Corruption is a biological term, which assumes moral(ist) connotation and then becomes authority. As we know from Hobbes, authority, not truth, makes law.
Having the transgression of law undesired consequences, corruption is meaningful as long as it remains hidden.Education, which the same law establishes, cannot even mention corruption, it must eliminate it from its horizon of dissemination of reality: kids don't need to know what the non-existing corruption is. This implies that a kid, in order to know corruption, is supposed to experience it on his own skin. Corruption has also this fascinating feature: it pursues the self-conservation of those who promote it in a not necessarily conscious way.
Nel momento in cui si parla molto di "sindacati" sulla scena politico-economica, propongo un breve compendio dove poter trovare alcuni degli spunti maggiormente interessanti in merito al diritto sindacale. Si danno spunti di riflessione su "nascita dei sindacati in Italia", "diritti sindacali", "contrattazione collettiva" e "lotta sindacale". Non vuole essere un lavoro esaustivo ma un buona sistematizzazione di quanto occorre sapere quando si parla di sindacati.
Giunti a questo momento, così particolare della recente storia economico-politica italiana, credo possa essere utile ripercorrere brevemente ed effettuare qualche riflessione “fuori dal coro” dei soliti qualunquismi, relativamente cause e soluzioni della crisi del debito italiana.
