Il Mulino Publishes Rosaria Ferrarese's 'Il grande intreccio' on Global Economic Powers

Rosaria Ferrarese's new book 'Il grande intreccio: Politica e poteri economici globali' has been published by Il Mulino. The work explores the intersection of politics and global economic powers, drawing on the concept of the 'satisfied young gentleman' (signorino soddisfatto) from Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset's 'The Revolt of the Masses' (La ribellione delle masse). Ferrarese revisits Ortega's critique of mass man, who lacks self-evaluation and feels 'as' (the quote is cut off in the source). The book is discussed in an article on doppiozero, which begins with a playful quiz about Ortega y Gasset, noting that few have actually read his famous work. The article highlights Ferrarese's application of Ortega's concept to contemporary issues of market power and abuse. The publication date is listed as September 7, 2026, and the article is authored by Alfredo Gigliobianco and Anita Romanello. The book addresses the 'great intertwining' of politics and global economic powers, a theme of current relevance. The article suggests that Ferrarese's work provides a lens to understand the dynamics of power in modern economies, drawing on historical philosophical ideas to illuminate present-day concerns.
