Questo libro offre una panoramica completa dello sviluppo dell'economia dalle sue origini, alla fine del Medioevo, fino agli sviluppi contemporanei. Si concentra sulla teoria contemporanea, fornendo una vasta copertura del ventesimo secolo, in particolare dal secondo dopoguerra.
As the third millennium begins, this small book is offered as a contribution to our understanding of what globalisation really is and what it really means. It presents the proceedings of a workshop held by the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences on 'the social dimensions of globalisation' in 2000. Perhaps this is the first time that a number of eminent scholars and authorities have sought to address themselves to the subject of globalisation by concentrating on the social dimensions of this increasingly discussed phenomenon. A variety of perspectives and solutions are offered because the authors of these essays represent different geographical regions and the different disciplines of the social sciences (a prominent characteristic of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences). This work will be of interest to all those who are concerned with the many human ramifications of a process which both arouses strong hostility and receives sustained support. It is also intended as a preliminary approach to a subject which will be examined in greater detail by the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences over the next few years.
