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
risks, climate change, big data governance and digital oligopolies. These challenges
call for a new European policy agenda centered on international public research
infrastructures designed as enterprises with long-term missions in global health, climate science, and data governance. […]”“His proposals are timely and necessary. […] Yet, his deep understanding of epochal challenges we face, his impeccably persuasive writing, accessibility to a wide audience, and far-sighted proposals make this book a primary reference for the urgently needed new European policy agenda.”
