The course reflects on the different models of capitalism, starting with the debate on "Varieties of capitalism". It will deal with the relationships between historical dimension, juridical and economic cultures, institutions, financial markets and ownership structures in today's world economy.

The aim of the course is trying to give an answer to a couple of very simple questions: why economic systems react in a different way to exogenous shocks, and why regardless of being economic systems based on the main principles of capitalism (profit, ownership of the means of production, use of waged labour force, etc.) the different economic systems can be deeply influenced by supranational institutions like the European Union, or can be deeply shaped by the wide influence of the process of financialization which is overlapping that of of the globalization.

The lecture will be online until the end of April. They will be in presence in May and June.
