La Pace cambia l’economia

Si terrà sabato 5 settembre 2026 a Cernobbio (Sala di Via delle Cinque Giornate 5) il XVI Forum nazionale dell’altra Cernobbio, promosso dalla campagna Sbilanciamoci! insieme alla Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo. Il titolo dell’edizione di quest’anno è “Un’economia di pace. Contro la guerra, un nuovo modello di sviluppo“.

Parteciperanno (clicca per scaricare il programma) economiste ed economisti, ricercatori, sindacalisti ed esponenti della variegata galassia delle associazioni che fanno parte delle due reti promotrici, alle quali aderiscono oltre 100 organizzazioni.

I temi affrontati quest’anno sono quelli della riduzione delle spese militari e della riconversione dell’industria bellica, delle conseguenze dannose delle guerre sull’economia e sulla vita delle persone, della necessità di un modello di sviluppo sostenibile e di qualità fondato sui diritti, la pace, l’ambiente. Faro per le organizzazioni promotrici è una politica di pace fondata sulla cooperazione e sulla democrazia internazionale, un’economia di giustizia, contro le diseguaglianze.

Il Forum si concluderà con gli impegni e le proposte verso la legge di bilancio 2027 e le elezioni politiche: al centro gli investimenti pubblici per la transizione ecologica, la riconversione del sistema produttivo, la sanità e l’istruzione pubblica, i servizi sociali per il welfare e l’accoglienza dei cittadini migranti.

“Mentre al workshop dello Studio Ambrosetti – affermano Cecilia Begal e Giulio Marcon, co-portavoce  di Sbilanciamoci- ci ripropongono da 40 anni le stesse ricette fallimentari che hanno fatto crescere diseguaglianze, guerre e peggioramento del clima, noi vogliamo dire che un’altra economia è possibile: quella fondata sulla pace, i diritti, la sostenibilità”

I lavori si articolano in due momenti: la mattina (ore 9.30-13.00) dedicata a “L’impatto della guerra sull’economia e la società”, con le sessioni sulla militarizzazione dell’economia e sulle conseguenze per la globalizzazione, il lavoro e le produzioni; il pomeriggio (ore 14.00-17.00) dedicato a “Le alternative dell’economia di pace”, con le sessioni su un’economia del lavoro, dell’ambiente e dei diritti e su un modello di sviluppo sostenibile.

La giornata si chiuderà alle ore 21.00 allo Spazio Gloria (Via Varesina 72, Como) con “Ho visto un Re…”, “concerto” teatrale di diverse compagnie contro i Re e le loro guerre, presentato da Dario Onofrio (Arci) e con l’intervento di Cecilia Begal, co-portavoce di Sbilanciamoci!.

L'articolo La Pace cambia l’economia sembra essere il primo su Sbilanciamoci - L’economia com’è e come può essere. Per un’Italia capace di futuro.

L’economia che vogliamo

A Cernobbio quest’anno — nel forum alternativo a quello dello Studio Ambrosetti, promosso da Sbilanciamoci! e Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo — decliniamo i temi e le alternative di un’economia di pace, fondata sul disarmo, sulle politiche di cooperazione, sui diritti, sull’eguaglianza, su un modello di sviluppo ancorato alla sostenibilità e alla lotta ai cambiamenti climatici.

La pace non è, come si sa, semplicemente l’assenza di guerra, ma l’affermazione dei valori fondamentali della comunità umana: la libertà, la giustizia, la solidarietà, l’eguaglianza. I principi della Rivoluzione francese del 1789 e della nostra Costituzione repubblicana.

Principi, com’è noto, realizzati solo in parte e solo in una parte del mondo. E oggi rimessi in discussione dai governi di destra, nazionalisti e autoritari, dalla presidenza Trump negli Stati Uniti al governo Meloni in Italia. Anche la pace come assenza di guerra è lontana dall’essere realizzata: ci sono oggi oltre 50 conflitti armati nel mondo, con centinaia di migliaia di morti, milioni di profughi, città e territori devastati. Guerre alimentate anche dal business delle armi, enormemente cresciuto negli ultimi decenni e favorito dalle politiche di riarmo che i paesi della NATO stanno realizzando.

L’economia che vogliamo è un’economia disarmata, capace di dare risposte ai veri bisogni della comunità: non portaerei, cacciabombardieri e sottomarini, ma posti di lavoro con diritti, ospedali e la fine delle liste d’attesa, scuole e università gratuite e per tutte e tutti, fiumi puliti, aria non inquinata, energia pulita. Non si tratta di un libro dei sogni.

Ci sono alternative e proposte concrete, che si possono realizzare costruendo una prospettiva diversa, anche con la riconversione dell’industria militare a scopi civili. Invece di fare cacciabombardieri si possono costruire Canadair per spegnere gli incendi; invece di produrre blindati si possono fare autobus per il servizio pubblico; invece di elicotteri da combattimento si possono fabbricare elicotteri per l’elisoccorso, per le aree interne e là dove le ambulanze non arrivano in tempo. Si può fare. E sono queste le proposte che presentiamo ogni anno, quando si discute la legge di bilancio, con la controfinanziaria: proposte dettagliate per un uso della spesa pubblica a favore dei diritti, della pace, dell’ambiente.

Abbiamo un Paese che soffre: milioni di lavoratori e lavoratrici poveri e precari, centinaia di migliaia di giovani che emigrano per studiare e per trovare lavoro, donne pagate meno degli uomini, 4 milioni di italiani e italiane che non si curano più perché le liste d’attesa sono troppo lunghe e non hanno i soldi per andare nelle strutture private, colline e montagne che franano alla prima alluvione. Il governo Meloni, oltre a non rispondere a questi problemi — in questi ultimi quattro anni sono aumentate la povertà e la precarietà del lavoro, la sanità pubblica è sottofinanziata, mancano le politiche industriali, metà delle scuole italiane non rispetta le normative di sicurezza — prova a dare al Paese, con il decreto sicurezza, la legge elettorale, il bavaglio all’informazione, una stretta autoritaria senza precedenti: sono a rischio la nostra democrazia, i diritti politici e civili, la nostra Costituzione.

Serve un nuovo modello di sviluppo, fondato sulla qualità sociale, sulla sostenibilità ambientale, sull’eguaglianza di genere, economica e sociale.

È questo il messaggio che vogliamo lanciare con la XVI edizione dell’altra Cernobbio.

L'articolo L’economia che vogliamo sembra essere il primo su Sbilanciamoci - L’economia com’è e come può essere. Per un’Italia capace di futuro.

NASA astronaut Deniz Burnham will embark on her first mission to the International Space Station, serving as an Expedition 76 flight engineer.

Burnham will launch aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-30 spacecraft with cosmonauts Dmitri Petelin and Konstantin Borisov. Launch is targeted for March 2027, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and the trio will spend about seven months aboard the orbiting laboratory.

During her expedition, Burnham will conduct scientific investigations and technology demonstrations to help prepare humans for future exploration missions to the Moon and Mars and to benefit people on Earth.

Selected as a NASA astronaut in 2021, Burnham graduated with the agency’s 23rd astronaut class in 2024. Born at Incirlik Air Base in Adana, Turkey, Burnham moved frequently while growing up in a military family. She was living in Wasilla, Alaska, at the time of her selection.

A former intern at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, Burnham earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of California, San Diego, and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. An experienced leader in the energy industry, she spent more than a decade managing onsite drilling operations on oil rigs across North America. Burnham also served in the U.S. Navy Reserves as an engineering duty officer. She is a licensed private pilot with ratings for airplane single engine land and sea, instrument airplane, and rotorcraft-helicopter.

For more than 25 years, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and making research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. The space station helps NASA understand and overcome the challenges of human spaceflight, expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit, and build on the foundation for long-duration missions to the Moon, as part of the Artemis program, and to Mars.

NASA Astronaut Chris Williams, Crewmates Return from Space Station

The Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft is seen as it lands in a remote area near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan
The Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft is seen as it lands in a remote area near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan with Expedition 74 NASA astronaut Chris Williams, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, and Sergei Mikaev aboard, Sunday, July 26, 2026. 
NASA/Bill Ingalls

Concluding an eight-month science mission aboard the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Chris Williams returned to Earth on Sunday alongside Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev.

The crew made its safe, parachute-assisted landing at 5:27 a.m. CDT (3:27 p.m., Kazakhstan time), southeast of Dzhezkazgan, after departing the space station at 2:03 a.m., aboard the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft.

The crew was in space for 241 days, orbiting the Earth 3,856 times and traveling more than 102 million miles. They launched to the International Space Station on Nov. 27, 2025. The mission was the first for Williams and Mikaev and the second for Kud-Sverchkov.

While aboard the orbiting laboratory, Williams supported a wide range of scientific investigations and technology demonstrations. He helped advance research for new cancer treatments and improved in-space manufacturing of materials used in high-performance computers and electronics. Williams also completed two spacewalks to prep for space station power system upgrades and to replace a faulty joint on the Canadarm2 robotic arm. The crew’s work aboard the space station helps improve life on Earth and prepare for future human missions to the Moon and Mars.

Following post-landing medical checks, the crew members will fly by helicopter to Karaganda, Kazakhstan, where recovery teams are based. Williams then will board a NASA aircraft bound for the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

For more than 25 years, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and making research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. The space station helps NASA understand and overcome the challenges of human spaceflight, expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit, and build on the foundation for long-duration missions to the Moon, as part of the Artemis program, and to Mars.

As a geologist, she studied the Martian surface and was a member of the Curiosity rover science team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Watkins first launched to the space station as a crew member aboard NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission, spending a total of 170 days in space across space station Expeditions 67/68 in 2022. She will be the first NASA astronaut to launch aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft twice.

Selected as a NASA astronaut in 2021, Delaney earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at the University of North Florida and a master’s degree in aerospace engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School. The Florida native is a distinguished naval aviator who participated in exercises throughout the Asia Pacific region and conducted missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. As a test pilot, Delaney evaluated developmental aircraft systems and served as a test pilot instructor. He also worked as a research pilot at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, where he supported airborne science missions. This is the first spaceflight for Delaney.

The Crew-13 mission also is the first spaceflight for Kutryk. Prior to his selection as a CSA astronaut in 2017, he served as a CF-18 fighter pilot, flying missions in support of Canada’s NATO, U.N., and North American Aerospace Defense Command commitments. A native of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Kutryk also worked as an experimental and operational test pilot at the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment in Cold Lake, Alberta. Kutryk received a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, and he is a distinguished graduate of the United States Air Force Test Pilot school in Edwards, California. He has master’s degrees in space studies, flight test engineering, and defense studies.

This mission will be Teteryatnikov’s first trip to the orbiting laboratory. He graduated from the Naval Academy, St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2011 as an engineer specializing in ship power plant operations. Before his selection as a test cosmonaut, Teteryatnikov served in various naval engineering roles, including undersea vessels and specialized engine room operations. He was selected for the Gagarin Research and Test Cosmonaut Training Center Cosmonaut Corps in 2021 and has served as a test cosmonaut since 2023.

BIDEN ABBASSA LA CRESTA. DA “CI SARANNO CONSEGUENZE” A ” VOGLIAMO COMPETERE”

8 Marzo 2023 ore 17:32

ALL’INTERVENTO A MUSO DURO DEL NUOVO MINISTRO DEGLI ESTERI QUIN GANG , IL GOVERNO USA ABBASSA I TONI E CERCA DI RAFFREDDARE LA POLEMICA. SI RIVELA LA TIGRE DI CARTA PROFETIZZATA DA MAO.

Il tono minaccioso e la lista delle posizioni criticabili della Cina rispetto alla guerra Ucraina ( mancata condanna della Russia all’ONU, rafforzamento della collaborazione economica russo-cinese, possibilità di invio di armi e munizioni ai russi) si sono dissolte come neve al sole.

Il tono irritante del dipartimento di stato e i solenni avvertimenti a non toccare Taiwan anche. Lo sceriffo si é reso conto di avere a che fare con un osso duro ed é diventato più conciliante. Niente più oscure minacce di ritorsioni: qua la mano !

Nel link sottostante troverete il testo che Biden finse di snobbare, inducendo molti alla imitazione, e che adesso dovrà imparare a memoria. E’ il decalogo cinese per essere coerenti col concetto di pace.

https://corrieredellacollera.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=35641&action=edit

In effetti, la storia degli Stati Uniti é caratterizzata dalla violenza e dall’espansione il suo budget assomma al 40% di quello di tutti i paesi del mondo messi insieme ed hanno 800 basi militari sparse in paesi esteri, senza contare le flotte. Difficile dire che lo fanno per la pace.

Aver fatto notare queste verità che sono sotto gli occhi di tutti, la Cina si é vista sbeffeggiare dal presidente Joe Biden che ha snobbato il documento, implacabile ma pacato. Poco dopo il nuovo ministro degli Esteri cinese, ha cambiato il tono ed ha dichiarato che se gli USA continueranno con questi comportamenti miranti a soggiogare, prima psicologicamente, poi economicamente, la Cina, ” lo scontro sarebbe inevitabile”. Una notizia d’agenzia ha fatto circolare la cifra dei coscritti possibili: 20 milioni.

Gli USA – che sono già stati impressionati dal richiamo alle armi di trecentomila uomini fatto dalla Russia e memori della definizione di “unwise” data da Henri Kissinger all’atteggiamento bullesco di affrontare due crisi in contemporanea – hanno cambiato tono e smesso di cercare di stanare la Cina. Ancor oggi non sono riusciti a capire fino a che punto il celeste impero sia coinvolto con l’impero del male. Il timone punta a neutrale.

XI JINPING ha infatti confermato che non c’é stata nessuna cessione di armi ai duellanti, non ha dedicato una sola riga all’Europa e si é concentrato sui temi anticinesi degli USA: Taiwan, TIK TOK vessata quotidianamente, Huawei, le strumentali campagne per i diritti umani a favore degli Uiguri ( una delle sedici etnie presenti in Cina); la costruzione di una catena strategica attorno alla Cina ( AUKUS) , mirante a mortificarla nel suo mare, l’appoggio dato alla Filippine per il contenzioso per le isole Spratly, il riarmo accelerato giapponese. Tutte questioni sollevate ( o risollevate) dagli USA nell’ultimo anno miranti a indebolire XI.

La superiorità intellettuale cinese ha fatto fronte a tutte questi ostacoli affrontati senza ai usare toni aggressivi.

In questo secondo link troverete un estratto di un documento americano che tratta a un dipresso degli stessi temi del cinese, ma lo fa concentrandosi sulla Russia, al punto che affronta la situazione globale senza mai nominare Cina e India, nel tentativo di affrontare un avversario alla volta. Forse pensano che i cinesi siano tanto sciocchi da non averci pensato.

https://corrieredellacollera.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=35317&action=edit

L’ultimo link é al più completo documento Rand sulla Russia: Extending Russia ci ho messo un pò a capire che intendevano l’espansione delle spese russe a causa di guerre e rivolte ( indicate analiticamente) fino al punto da provocarne il crollo. Ed é qui che risalta il concetto di competitive advantage, ossia ottenere un vantaggio competitivo provocando una proxy war ( guerra per procura). Non si sono resi conto che , a partire da oggi, molti, sentendo parlare di competition la prenderanno per un sinonimo di guerra. Dovranno spolverare il vocabolario.
