Book review: The Privatisation of Knowledge

Anna Giunta's book review, Published: 17 February 2025 by Journal of Economics

“The Privatisation of Knowledge: A New Policy Agenda for Health, Energy, and Data
Governance by Massimo Florio, Professor Emeritus of Public Economics at the University of Milan, addresses some of the most pressing challenges of our time: health
