Mauro Magatti è uno dei più importanti sociologi contemporanei, sempre più presente nel dibattito pubblico, e dimostra che ci troviamo esattamente in quel momento.

This pioneering book shows, once and for all, the direct correlation between the freedoms given to women and the prosperity enjoyed by all.
