Innovation theory in the face of a deglobalization era 🌍
Radio Interview
My comment on the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics
I had the pleasure of joining RSI Rete Due – Alphaville to comment on the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics, awarded to Philippe Aghion, Peter Howitt, and Joel Mokyr.
We discussed how innovation, inclusion, and economic growth interact in an era of deglobalization, technological transformation, and shifting global balances — issues that are crucial for sustaining long-term productivity and prosperity, also here in Switzerland.
🎧 The interview (in Italian) is available here:
A warm thank you to Omar Teoldi and Barbara Camplani for the thoughtful conversation and kind invitation — it was a pleasure to contribute. 🙏
