An observational feasibility study on the impact of green exposure on major depressive episode symptomatology and inflammatory biomarkers
This result suggests that incorporating green exposure into clinical practice is feasible and potentially useful. However, more rigorous evaluations on larger samples are needed to verify whether exposure to greenery may complement MDEs treatment and favorably impact MDE-associated inflammatory processes
A case report and literature review of cognitive malingering and psychopathology
Malingering of cognitive difficulties constitutes a major issue in psychiatric forensic settings. Here, we present a selective literature review related to the topic of cognitive malingering, psychopathology and their possible connections. Furthermore, we report a single case study of a 60-year-old man with a long and ongoing judicial history who exhibits a suspicious multi-domain neurocognitive disorder with significant reduction of autonomy in …
Crisis and Sustainability: The Delusion of Free Markets
This book offers a novel interpretation of the Great Recession and the ensuing Euro Crisis as a consequence of the evolution of capitalism since the 1970s. Chapters argue that the neoliberal development trajectory pursued in recent decades is unsustainable, and posit that neither sound macroeconomics nor empirical data support the unqualified faith in free markets that inspired it. The book begins by providing a broad critical perspective on key …
Microfoundations, Methodological Individualism and Alternative Economic Visions
This article analyzes the standard descriptive and prescriptive uses of the phrase ‘microfoundations of macroeconomics’ as practised since the early 1970s within the discipline of economics. From a descriptive point of view, we maintain that generally this phrase is used to mean a very specific and idiosyncratic way of conceiving the relationship between individual and collective economic behaviour. From a prescriptive point of view, we argue tha…
Financialization in a Long-Run Perspective: An Evolutionary Approach
This paper argues that there is a secular tendency toward financialization that is intrinsic in the development of market relations. The driving force of this evolutionary process is rooted in a fairly continuous flow of financial innovations meant to remove the existing constraints to the flexibility of economic transactions. For example, according to received wisdom, the adoption of money as a medium of exchange has removed the strictures of th…
A Perspective on Minsky Moments: Revisiting the Core of the Financial Instability Hypothesis
This paper aims to bridge the gap between theory and facts on the so-called 'Minsky moments' by revisiting the financial instability hypothesis (FIH). We limit the analysis to the core of the FIH, that is, to its strictly financial part. The approach suggested here builds on Minsky's contributions revisited in the light of the subprime mortgage financial crisis. We start from a constructive criticism of the well-known Minskyan taxonomy of economi…
Global Sustainability: Social and Environmental Conditions
This book examines how consistent the post-war process of globalization has been with the basic requisites of sustainable development. It argues that the polarization of public opinion into support of either globalization or sustainable development has not helped an understanding of the issues, and that the confrontation should be abandoned

Methodological Foundations of Macroeconomics
This book is an investigation of the methodological and epistemological foundations of macroeconomic theory, based on an examination of the theories of Keynes and Lucas. It is divided into two parts. In the first Professor Vercelli discusses the methodological issues which lie behind the conflict among different schools of thought in macroeconomics (equilibrium and disequilibrium, risk and uncertainty, rationality and causality). These issues are…
