How globalization shapes or deforms the labor market, how the visions of a small entrepreneur change, but also the ways in which the climate and environmental crisis contributes to defining new scenarios.
Ideas, theories, insights and reflections that will be debated over the four days of the International Festival of Economics, the second edition of which in Turin will be held from 1 to 4 June and whose chosen theme is “Rethinking globalisation”. In this case the choice was to concentrate all the venues for the appointments in the city centre, with the exception of the Ogrs in the final event, to allow the public to move on foot from one place to another: among these the Teatro Carignano, the Collegio Carlo Alberto, the Egyptian Museum and the classroom of San Filippo Neri.
