Seven years on and an unending crisis later, it is time to turn the page of the 20th century. We are completing the painful transformation from a disappearing services economy to a world of instant communication. Seven years is also the moment to wonder about the nature of these new times and to realize that a modern universe is taking a shape which we neither anticipated nor devised. It can only emerge from the younger population, for whose benefit much needs to be sacrificed. Young people everywhere are demanding autonomy for the sake of their well-being and freedom of thought. We cannot ignore them.0This short book identifies some current issues like the monetary union, public debt and the sovereign crisis. All these texts have been published between 2011 and 2014.
