Observing entrepreneurship in action, and dreaming of a more innovative future for Italy, gradually led me to a conviction: there is something political about building and running a firm.
Political with a capital P—not in the sense of businesses trying to influence politics, but of taking responsibility for building institutions and shaping places.
The relationship between institutional and economic order has been studied widely and for a long time. I am now embarking on a new journey of study and research at @Unibocconi’s Department of Legal Studies to explore the role of private initiative: how firms bring talent and resources together to pursue their purposes while also helping shape the destiny of a place.
After many observations, reflections and miles travelled across the US, Europe and Japan, I began calling this idea corporate statecraft: what happens when a firm extends its entrepreneurial agency to help build the institutions on which a place and its community depend.
I am discovering something that reaches beyond sustainable business practices. I am beginning to see the role that visionary enterprises can play in shaping the values and arrangements that guide how we live and what we collectively work toward.
It is work we have traditionally associated with statesmanship, undertaken through private organizations and driven by a belief that business can be a means of building the world.
That belief brings a responsibility toward the people whose lives these organizations help shape.
This is the idea at the heart of my article published today in the Journal of Institutional Economics, and the very first publication from my doctoral research.

The @AnthropicAI proposal for a limited antitrust waiver could have lasting consequences for how AI governance develops, as well as for its wider societal effects.
In my commentary for Columbia Law School’s Blue Sky Blog - @CLSBlueSkyBlog, I look at the issue from a law-and-economics perspective and consider why a juridical analysis of the economy may matter more than ever.

The Trump campaign fundraised within minutes of the guilty verdict being read, declaring him a "political prisoner" on his official website.
"This was a rigged, disgraceful trial. The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people," Trump told a crowd of reporters.

Insomma Bari sta dimostrando che per il PD allearsi col M5S non funziona e che cooptare quelli di centrodestra non funziona: resterebbe quella vecchia idea di costruire un PD che si faccia votare e vinca le elezioni.
Un giornalista di China Media Group fa una cosa che un suo collega della Rai in Cina non può fare: una domanda (anzi due), non concordata, direttamente a un ministro della Repubblica.
Everyone wants the latest chips. That’s causing a huge headache for the world’s biggest supplier, TSMC. CNN gains rare access inside the Taiwan training facility that now holds the key to the company’s global expansion. @EricCheungwc @JohnnyMees https://t.co/Smofttl1gM
Questa mattina sul Giornale di Vicenza é stata ripresa la newsletter in cui ho spiegato come sono andate le cose con @nuova_stagione. Per ragioni di sintesi il titolo si é incentrato sul classico “da che parte stai”, ma ovviamente la questione é più articolata e riguarda l’esito di un progetto di democrazia e partecipazione che é stato sinceramente aperto.

Il dietrofront di Intel in Veneto “è una sconfitta nazionale”. Il colosso americano era pronto a investire 4,6 miliardi a Vigasio: alla fine ha deciso di concentrarsi su Germania e Polonia. Parla Carraro (Confindustria). Di @FkGottardi https://t.co/hQEExmLWzs
