Un manifesto contro il declino. Economia della conoscenza per l'innovazione.
L'economia della conoscenza è la chiave di volta, per Greco e Termini, per superare il declino strutturale dell'Italia. Si tratta di una rivoluzione culturale che deve coinvolgere i corpi sociali più significativi del Paese; politici, sindacati, confederazioni imprenditoriali, mondo della cultura e della ricerca. "Contro il declino" non è un libro dei sogni ma un'analisi puntuale delle cause del declino del nostro paese, ma anche un insieme di proposte che chiamano in causa la politica e le organizzazioni del sociale. - Leggi

Promuovere la cultura innovativa
Il tema dell'innovazione sfida tutti e, proprio perché sfida tutti, sfida ciascuno a tenere il passo con l'andatura che viene imposta dal contesto. L'innovazione, realizzazione dell'improbabile, frutto dello sviluppo del sapere scientifico e del progresso tecnologico, ha cambiato e sta cambiando la nostra vita, e quindi il mondo. L'innovazione deve essere capace di mettere in connessione il globale con il locale: questa è la vera sfida della globalizzazione. Inoltre deve avvicinarsi a condizioni di sostenibilità. Per questo c'è bisogno di innovatori che siano coraggiosi, ma anche responsabili. - Leggi
