By the Editors
THE DARK EVIL   italian version
 

The World of Seattle  
Luciana Castellina
TURTLES AND WORKERS   italian version
An on-site analysis with the protagonists of the anti-globalisation movement which considers the different components and cultures, unresolved contradictions and difficulties in coming to terms with the political world. Not forgetting also the more than occasional convergence, the birth of a united feeling and the progess made during days of struggle and discussion.

Free-Trade Italian Style: a Twenty-Year Long Discussion  
Examining the long march of free-trade in Italy and its recent acceleration. Its effects can already be measured, especially in the dismantling of instruments of state intervention in the economy. How can this politcal and cultural breakthrough be explained? Can it be resisted, and if so, how? Three of the magazine's supporters will discuss the issue.

The first steps of an inquiry into the vital issue of the school, exploring first and foremost, the crisis in the school system not only in Italy, but also elsewhere.

Gianpasquale Santomassimo
WALTER'S CHANGES   italian version
An authoritative historical critic takes Walter Veltroni's recent theories on Communism and the history of the twentieth century seriously. He criticizes the contents but also denounces the now widespread method of the instrumental and improvised use of history in a country that seems to have a short memory, even for its most recent past.
