Summary

This volume provides a legal, sociological, and political analysis of measures promoting gender equality in corporate governance at the international, European, and Italian levels.It examines both soft and hard law measures, offering a comparative perspective on their implementation and effectiveness.Special focus is given to the Italian framework, including listed companies, state-owned enterprises, gender certification, and Law No. 21 of 2024 on Italy’s capital market, questioning whether the time is ripe for extending quotas to medium-sized and large joint- stock companies.The analysis then delves into the Women on Boards (WoB) Directive, a key European initiative, alongside recent EU measures such as the Pay Transparency Directive, the CSRD, and the Supply Chain Act.As such, this volume offers valuable insights for legal scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in gender equality and corporate governance.

  • The Capitalist Manifesto - Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World - cover

    The Capitalist Manifesto - Why...

    Marx and Engels were right when they observed in the Communist Manifesto that free markets had in a short time created greater prosperity and more technological innovation than all previous generations combined. A century and a half later, all the evidence shows that capitalism has lifted millions and millions from hunger and poverty. 
     
    Today's story about global capitalism, shared by right-wing and left-wing populists, but also by large sections of the political and economic establishment, does not deny that prosperity has been created, but it says it ended up in far too few hands. This in turn has made it popular to talk about the global economy as a geopolitical zero-sum game, where we have to fight to control new innovations, introduce trade barriers and renationalise value chains. While, more broadly, capitalism is accused of fuelling glaring inequality, populist revolts, climate change and China's global conquest. 
     
    In this incisive and passionate investigation, Johan Norberg instead states the case for capitalism and the vital role played by the free market in today's uncertain world. Ultimately, he argues that that a move away from global capitalism would not only squeeze the growth out of the economy but also deepen an already large social exclusion for the vulnerable - for the world's poor, it would be a killing blow.

    On the surface, Bevan Cox looked like a man who had it all: career success, physical strength, and social admiration. Inside, he was drowning in childhood trauma, betrayal, codependency, and a justice system turned against him. When the noise became impossible to silence and his final goodbye was seconds from being uploaded, a divine interruption stopped him. 
    Turn Toward the Storm is that story. 
    Told with gut-wrenching honesty and zero sugarcoating, this audiobook is a raw memoir of hitting absolute rock bottom—and choosing to rebuild anyway. Through false arrests, trauma bonds, narcissistic abuse, and suicidal ideation, Bevan doesn’t just survive—he learns to heal. What emerges is a powerful roadmap for anyone carrying invisible scars they’ve been taught to ignore. 
    Listeners walk through jail cells, therapy rooms, and courtrooms engineered for his downfall. You’ll step into the world of fitness competitions, where discipline becomes a lifeline. You’ll sit in the quiet, brutal moments where faith stops being a concept and becomes the only thing left standing. 
    Along the way, you’ll learn how to set boundaries, rewire destructive beliefs, dismantle the ego, and rebuild an identity from the ashes of who you used to be. This is not a story about perfection or performance: it’s about courage, responsibility, and the radical decision to fight for a life you no longer believe you deserve. 
    Turn Toward the Storm is for anyone who’s been told to “stay strong” while silently falling apart. It’s for those who grew up in chaos, loved the wrong people, were betrayed by systems meant to protect them, or wake up wondering why they’re still here. 
    If your pain has ever whispered that your story is over, this audiobook stands as proof that it’s not. Peace isn’t a reward for the perfect—it’s a decision made by the brave.
