l successo è la somma dei nostri fallimenti — e io ne ho fatti abbastanza da poterteli raccontare. INSUCCESSI nasce da una domanda scomoda: è possibile che stai lavorando nella direzione sbagliata? Lorenzo Minniti, CEO di Plinn, racconta gli errori che nessuno ammette — suoi e di chi ha visto fallire aziende per scelte sbagliate.

Niente teorie. Solo i numeri giusti e le domande che nessuno fa.

First published in 1948, Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks is an important Marxist work that says we must understand societies both in terms of their economic relationships and their cultural beliefs. Gramsci wanted to explore why Russia had undergone a socialist revolution in 1917 while other European countries had not. So he developed the concept of hegemony, which is the idea that those who hold power in a society can maintain and use that power because of their own grip on cultural values and economic relationships.

However, most critics consider Fr. Lawrence Scupoli the author.

Por um lado, pela densidade poética e pela originalidade da escrita, e por inaugurar o gênero da autobiografia como história da formação de uma personalidade, elas representam um marco único na história da literatura ocidental. Por outro, Agostinho elabora nelas uma nova maneira de fazer filosofia, estranha à tradição antiga, por ser baseada não apenas em conceitos abstratos e deduções.
