L’articolo si propone di indagare la trasformazione del ruolo dei principali attori filantropico-finanziari italiani - le fondazioni di origine bancaria - nel policy-making nei campi del welfare e della sanità nel contesto emergenziale della pandemia.Per fare questo, l’articolo si apre introducendo le caratteristiche fondamentali delle FOB e del loro rapporto con le politiche pubbliche per come era fino allo scoppio della pandemia.In particolare ne metteremo in risalto i quattro elementi portanti: 1) la capacità di intervenire in modo tempestivo; 2) la capacità innovativa; 3) la cvolontà di partecipare al policy making su un piano paritario con i decisori pubblici; 4) l’idea di essere migliori sul piano della capacità ideativa, dell’efficacia e dell’efficienza rispetto agli attori pubbliciSuccessivamente, appoggiandoci a dati e ad analisi dei discorsi, analizzeremo se e in che modo questi tre elementi si siano modificati durante la pandemia e con quale esito rispetto alla loro legittimazione nel policy-making.

This article focuses on financial education with the aim to explore the relationship between finance, welfare policies and the governance of uncertainties and risks also in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic. The article discusses the normative substratum that lies at the intersection of daily life and changes in the institutional and regulatory structures of welfare policies. In doing so, it shows how financial education turns protection from critical events, including pandemics, into a financial skills issue that vulnerable individuals and families must address through individual and financialised coping strategies, without broader social factors and contexts of vulnerability being taken into account and addressed. Finally, it points out that the pandemic situation does not seem to be a factor of discontinuity in this respect. Rather, the pandemic emergency appears to be used to support the further development of long-term trends, particularly processes of depoliticization and individualisation.

Since the 1990s, Italy has undertaken the most intense and prolonged transformation of its intermediation system in Europe. What has proved to be a real upheaval in ownership structures has led to the 'disappearance' of the banking system in the southern regions and the transfer of the 'thinking head' to the central north. This did not happen as a result of market dynamics but thanks to a plan conceived and guided by the Bank of Italy, with the aim of 'saving' the southern banks, increasing their allocation efficiency, management performance and profitability. Thirty years after the beginning of the restructuring process, the data used in this work show that the performance gaps between macro-areas have remained substantially unchanged, to the detriment of households and the productive fabric of the southern regions, which - in fact - continue to suffer from lower credit, with higher costs than those of the central and northern regions, which interface with banks that have their local headquarters in the same areas, enjoying the relative benefits.
自上世纪90年代以来,意大利对其中介制度进行了欧洲最激烈、最持久的改革。事实证明,所有权结构的真正剧变导致了南方地区银行体系的“消失”,以及“思维头脑”向中北部的转移。这并不是市场动态的结果,而是由于意大利央行(Bank of Italy)构思和指导的一项计划,该计划旨在“拯救”南方银行,提高它们的配置效率、管理绩效和盈利能力。在结构调整进程开始三十年后,本工作中使用的数据表明,宏观地区之间的绩效差距基本保持不变,这对南方地区的家庭和生产结构不利,事实上,南方地区继续遭受较低信贷的影响,成本高于中部和北部地区,中部和北部地区与当地总部设在同一地区的银行联系,享受相对利益。

In a period of repeated economic crises, access to traditional credit channels for those unable to provide personal or capital guarantees has proved particularly complex. Among the possible ways to limit the damage of the crisis, the Region of Sardinia has identified support for entrepreneurship - and in particular micro-entrepreneurship - as the most important way to foster the creation of new jobs, both in traditional and innovative sectors. The authority has deemed it appropriate to change course in favour of business creation through a special form of interest-free microcredit, which replaces the traditional grant. At the time of its creation in 2009, the ESF Microcredit Fund constituted a radical policy innovation, which entailed a major discontinuity with previous practices. It was an important and courageous decision, taken in a context heavily marked by the unfavourable socio-economic situation. This article presents the main results of the analysis of the ESF Microcredit, describing the mechanisms of genesis and implementation of the policy and finally describing the main effects of the ESF Microcredit on the beneficiaries and the socio-economic context.

The paper explores the impact of finance's penetration into agriculture and the global food system. The authors analyse the causes of the recent global food crises, unveiling the key role played by financial speculation and explaining why this phenomenon is likely to affect food security much more than the problems related to the supply and demand dynamics taking place in the “real economy”. Financial markets, it is argued, are engendering pricing mechanisms and dynamics of wealth distribution that have consequences on agrarian structures, but also on our daily life. While creating new profit opportunities for speculators and the agribusiness, the penetration of finance into food systems increase uncertainty and imply new risks for local actors, to the point of compromising their capability to respond to exogenous shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. To make sense of these phenomena, they must be linked to the broader transformation of our global system and to the long-term trajectories of capitalist development. This operation is here made with the support of the analytical tools provided by some approaches inspired by the world-system analysis, bringing to light the roots of what can be defined as a “financialized food regime” and discussing some of its important ecological and socio-economic contradictions.

This paper is centred on the analysis of some recent developments of the touristic system in the italian city of Firenze. The COVID-19 pandemic hit hard the urban economic system of the city, which is increasingly dependent on tourism. We analyze how the pandemic has been exploited by some local actors to develop their own narrative of the touristic future of the city, in light of a rebranding attempt meant to position it as an «elite» touristic destination. We explore the contradictions between different ideas of how tourism should affect the urban fabric.

The paper focuses on one of the most discussed issues in Elias' work, namely the representation of the medieval affective world in The Civilisation Process. Drawing on its ties with Freudian theory, the paper attempts to highlight the ambiguity existing between the accounts of the dynamics of the psyche in Elias and their treatment in the case of the medieval warrior. Then an attempt is made to elucidate some implicit consequences for those who intend, following Elias' path, to question the relations between sociogenesis and psychogenesis.
