After the pandemic

Three years after the start of the covid-19 pandemic, the consequences on society, politics, and the economy, in Italy and at the international level, can start to be assessed.

The conference presents recent research on how social relations, the economic system, and State intervention have responded to the pandemic emergency, including work conducted at the Scuola Normale Superiore and at the Institute for advanced studies ‘Carlo Azeglio Ciampi’.
