Pio Curatolo 
Beyond the Arena – For a new socio-economic system 

In the first part of the book a series of critical analyzes on the Italian and European political situation are carried out. The second part proposes a radically innovative idea of transformation and reform of the political-economic and social system that concerns every human reality beyond its specific situation and location.

To the non-Italian reader, to whom this translation revisited by OLTRE L’ARENA – Il Movimento 5s e Grillo, gli Italiani e gli Altri, di questo e di un altro Mondo © 2017, I feel the duty to point out that, although it is evident the specifically Italian, or even personal, context that originally motivated me to write this book, the arguments and perspectives that my reflection reaches can be meditated on and enjoyed regardless of its original location, especially in the second part of the book. Political, historical, social and economic situations may have a geographical typicality, but this does not exclude that the issues addressed concern the present and the future of the overall world and of the ‘citizenship’ that each one carries out there, beyond the particular place.

The author, with a health and sociological background, worked in the mental health services of Trieste and Perugia.
