Naples DIES (129): The future

by:" A Brief History of the Future "by Jacques Attali, now released also in the Italian publisher Fazi.



Some books should learn to awkward syrup, if we have children and grandchildren, and especially if our neighbors opposed to the point calls for end soon.


250,000 French have already done.


This book, hard to digest, written by a man who belonged to a now left adrift, Director of PlaNet Finance, an NGO for the promotion of microfinance in developing countries has also supported projects Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, provides the history of our near future, anything but cheerful, but ends with a vision iperdemocratica planet, after a series of unavoidable conflict. And not only. The author, intellectual honesty, also puts into question their own forecasts, which can only result from reflections on the present, taking into account just a few possible unpredictable factor, which provides good examples. For example: "... if in Sarajevo in June 1914, a murderess had missed its target, the First World War would break out in any case not in the same way. When in 1941 Hitler had not invaded Russia, could, like General Franco in power and die in his bed. If Japan that year, The Union had attacked the Soviet rather than the United States, they probably would not enter in war and would not have liberated Europe, as a result they never released neither Spain nor Poland.


So, perhaps, France, Italy and the rest of Europe would have remained under the yoke of Hitler at least until the end of the seventies ... "


not a book that makes certain dream because I try to empower the reader, but leaves a door open, that we need not to succumb under the shafts of the prophets of the irreversible who hate humanity, often, unfortunately, in the name of God

There's also an afterword on Italy, its history, and what he should do to recover.
