In a time of deep uncertainty, Carlo Cottarelli takes a clear-eyed look at seven major global challenges that are shaping our present and will define our future — socially, economically, and politically.

From the shifting balance of power between China and the United States, to the rise of multinational tech giants; from the looming threat of global warming to the challenges of migration; from internal tensions within the European Union to declining birth rates — and, of course, the situation in Italy itself.

These are open — and above all, unresolved — issues that require bold, concrete responses. Compared to previous generations, we may have stronger foundations, but uncertainty remains high. If we want to avoid being caught unprepared, the first step is to confront reality head-on.

Cottarelli invites us to do just that: to speak plainly, without denial or exaggeration, without easy shortcuts or blind optimism. A clear, uncompromising reflection on our present — and an essential guide to facing the future with honesty and resolve.
