The link between war and pandemic, so frequently evoked these days, allows us to reflect on the role of the State in the management of emergencies, explains Andrea Colli, professor of economic history at Bocconi, in this video: "During the First World War and in the following years the link between emergency and public intervention was very close," explains Colli, "as the State's control over companies progressively increased. Even in the current situation, public intervention is particularly invasive, not only in Italy but also I n many other advanced democracies. We will have to see how this situation evolves in the future".
