Consumer Theories of Harm

An Economic Approach to Consumer Law Enforcement and Policy Making

By: Paolo Siciliani,Christine Riefa,Harriet Gamper

It has long been thought that fairness in European Consumer Law would be achieved by relying on information as a remedy and expecting the average consumer to keep businesses in check by voting with their feet. This monograph argues that the way consumer law operates today promises a lot but does not deliver enough. It struggles to avoid harm being caused to consumers and it struggles to repair the harm after the event. To achieve fairness, solutions need to be found elsewhere. Consumer Theories of Harm offers an alternative model to assess where and how consumer detriment may occur and solutions to prevent it. It shows that a more confident use of economic theory will allow practitioners to demonstrate how a poor standard of professional diligence lies at the heart of consumer harm. The book provides both theoretical and practical examples of how to combine existing law with economic theory to improve case outcomes. The book shows how public enforcers can move beyond the dominant transparency paradigm to an approach where firms have a positive duty to treat consumers fairly and shape their commercial offers in a way that prevents consumers from making mistakes. Over time, this 'fairness-by-design' approach will emerge as the only acceptable way to compete.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Lachmann's Method

By: Paolo Trovato

This book, written mainly with the non-Italian reader in mind, addresses a central problem in textual criticism...namely, how to try to correctly reconstruct a text of the past so that, even if not identical, it is as close as possible to the lost original, starting from a number of copies more or less full of mistakes; that is to say, how to preserve part of the memory of our past."--Preface, p. [13].

The History of Italian Marxism

From its Origins to the Great War

By: Paolo Favilli

In The History of Italian Marxism, Paolo Favilli offers an articulated analysis of the different levels at which Marx's ideas - and 'Marxism' as a doctrinal 'system' - were received in Italy from the time of the First International up till the eve of the First World War. Rejecting any linear understanding of the relation between Marx's texts and the assumption of Marxism as the ideology of the burgeoning workers' movement, Favilli explores the growth of different forms of Marxist culture through the period of the Paris Commune, the late-nineteenth-century debate on 'revisionism', and the rise of revolutionary syndicalism. Asking in each case whether 'Marxism' meant a science, an ideology, a way of doing politics, a utopia, a myth or a religion, Favilli goes on to assess which of these 'Marxisms' died with, and which have survived, the 'crisis' at the end of the twentieth century. With a new preface to the English edition. First published in Italian as Storia del marxismo italiano: dalle origini alla grande guerra, FrancoAngeli s.r.l. Milan, 1996.

(Re)Discovering Proximity

Generating New Urbanity—An Action Research for Milan

By: Marika Fior,Paolo Galuzzi,Gabriele Pasqui,Piergiorgio Vitillo

This book explores the topic of proximity and its relations in the design of contemporary urban fabrics and public spaces. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and reflections on the future of cities have lately shed light on the concept of proximity, which is intended as the relationship between communities and urban functions and as relations among people, built spaces, and open spaces. The proximity is a historic and fertile field of interest for American and Northern European urban studies; it is a spatial and social program seemingly surpassed by the styles and rhythms of contemporary city life, but today it is back in vogue with different purposes. Meanwhile, the action research developed by the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies at the Politecnico di Milano for the Municipality of Milan reached its conclusion (2018–2020). The research work focused on contextualizing the new M4 Metro line stations under construction, and jointed mobility flows and places, long-range networks and local ones, boosting the idea of metro stations as regenerative urban thresholds and urban platforms for enabling environmental, sustainable settlement, and active mobility systems. In other words, the action research for Milan shows how to achieve the concept of proximity in the urban design practice in a dense, stratified, and complex urban context.

Mussolini

By: Paolo Valera

Aonia edizioni. Ricordo Benito Mussolini con quel suo paltoncino proletario, dal bavero rialzato. Il freddo milanese lo sentiva molto. Compariva tutto freddoloso nel mio studio di via Fontana 18, con una certa timidezza. Protendeva la testa con quei suoi occhioni di fuoco. Sovente, entrando, domandava: "Sei solo?". Non sedeva quasi mai. Passeggiava concitato e sviluppava i suoi pensieri rivoluzionari. Demoliva il regime del quale oggi è ricostruttore: monarchia, militarismo, parlamentarismo, capitalismo. Tutta roba che allora mandava all'égout. Come era superbo Mussolini, coi suoi occhi luminosi che traducevano i bagliori della demolizione di tutto ciò che era borghese e legislativo! Non era per il parlamento: il luogo dei ciarloni nazionali. Il senato, puah!: istituzione da museo, ricettacolo di vecchiardi che non giovavano più a nessuno. Lo sciopero era il suo ideale di rivolta. Era dell'elevazione per il proletariato. Per vincere la "vil borghesia" non c'era che l'incrociamento delle braccia...

Il Vento Fischiò Canzoni

By: Paolo Rigoli

Francesco abita in una Milano popolata da dèi che si contendono la metropoli. Egli custodisce nel cuore il granellino di senapa cristiano che, morendo, può rinascere germoglio. Per il momento però, aspira solo a diventare sempre più forte. Il dio Vishnu ascolta il suo desiderio e decide di donargli la capacità di trasformarsi. Francesco trova così il modo di diventare Invincibile di notte: più alto, dalla muscolatura visibile e tonica, dal timbro di voce ammaliante, dotato di uno spirito che seduce chi gli è attorno. L'Invincibile a causa di questo potere però è coinvolto nella spietata lotta per il possesso della città di Milano, tra il dio della conservazione Vishnu e quello della distruzione Shiva. Nella Terra, concretamente deve scontrarsi con un'altra persona, la quale ha ricevuto dal dio della distruzione il potere di trasformarsi in una creatura micidiale, per essere il braccio terrorizzante di Shiva.
