Future Career

The future is big right now - for perhaps the first time, our society is more focused on what is going to happen in the future than what is happening right now.

Per uscire da una crisi serve un cambio di paradigma. Bisogna cambiare regole e prospettive, adeguare il proprio sguardo a un modo nuovo di interpretare la realtà. E prima che si stabilisca un nuovo paradigma, una nuova normalità, esiste un momento in cui tutte le possibilità sono aperte. Mauro Magatti è uno dei più importanti sociologi contemporanei, sempre più presente nel dibattito pubblico, e dimostra che ci troviamo esattamente in quel momento.
