Turin, 21 November 2019 Organizer links: http://www.grattacielointesasanpaolo.... Original video link: / 768228963590120 The program of cultural activities organized by Intesa Sanpaolo at the Turin skyscraper resumes with three conferences by the historian Alessandro Barbero. The project Three lessons by Alessandro Barbero, curated by Giulia Cogoli Comunicazione, dedicates three events to the crucial historical moments in which the economic situation and its changes have strongly influenced the course of history. Thursday 7 November, 6.00 pm Between recession and innovation: the crisis of the fourteenth century In the fourteenth century, the long cycle of medieval growth, which had lasted for centuries, abruptly ended. Climate change, new diseases, interminable wars caused catastrophic economic imbalances and a dramatic reduction in the population. And yet the standard of living does not decline, and the quality of material life continues to improve: because the demographic reduction affects prices, wages and production, opening up new market opportunities for those capable of seizing them. Thursday 14 November, 6:00 pm Money and women: Gracia Nasi, a financier of the sixteenth century In the sixteenth century, Christian Europe offers the contrast of an extraordinarily prosperous economy, based on credit and trade, and a ferocious religious intolerance. To the East, the Ottoman Empire offers the opposite picture of a stagnant economy, but of relative tolerance. Between these two worlds move the Jewish bankers, protagonists and victims of the era: and among them not only men, but also women, who manage colossal fortunes by dealing with doges and sultans. Thursday 21 November, 6:00 pm The bankruptcy of the State: the causes of the French Revolution Everyone remembers that the French Revolution began with the convocation of the Estates General. But if the King of France, after having exercised absolute power for two centuries, found himself forced to convene a parliament and ask for its support, it was because absolutism, which meant taxes and spending without any control from below, had caused the financial collapse of the monarchy.
