Bill Gates Libri

Quando si discute di globalizzazione, emergono atteggiamenti contrastanti: da un lato opportunità e crescita, dall'altro oppressione e mercificazione. Questo fenomeno suscita dibattiti tra studiosi e cittadini, generando sia speranze che timori. È davvero nuovo, o rappresenta una sfida rinnovata alla conoscenza e al progresso, simile a rivoluzioni passate? Se non è innovativo, come possiamo garantire che i benefici siano equamente distribuiti tra i popoli? Il mondo si sta espandendo: commerci, relazioni economiche, politiche e culturali si intrecciano, portando con sé valori e aspirazioni. Tuttavia, sorgono interrogativi su cosa non funzioni in questo processo e su cosa debba essere corretto. È giusto fermare l'espansione o continuare a promuoverla? Le lezioni raccolte nella Sala Zuccari di Palazzo Giustiniani affrontano queste tematiche, presentando contributi di figure di spicco come Giovanni Agnelli, Henry Kissinger, Václav Havel, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Bill Gates e Bernard Lewis. Insieme, offrono una prospettiva preziosa e originale sul fenomeno della globalizzazione, esplorando le sue dimensioni economiche, politiche, culturali e storiche.

As told by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Hit Refresh is the story of corporate change and reinvention as well as the story of Nadella’s personal journey, one that is taking place today inside a storied technology company, and one that is coming in all of our lives as intelligent machines become more ambient and more ubiquitous. It’s about how people, organizations and societies can and must hit refresh—transform—in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, relevance and renewal. At the core, it’s about us humans and our unique qualities, like empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt like never before. As much a humanist as a technologist, Nadella defines his mission and that of the company he leads as empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
