Attention to social, historical, demographics aspects of the economy has been a particularly fruitful part of the italian ''political economy'' tradition of research for centuries, so I am not surprised that U. Verona is hosting such a meeting.
But sometimes I suspect that too many italian economists get a USA PhD and get corrupted by sterile mathematicism (which is not to say that maths are irrelevant). But then I have been out of touch for too long, so I hope it has not happened.
«I will highlight them over coming days.»
Thanks!
BTW, you should have gone to Verona, it is beautiful, and the food and ice cream are particularly excellent. Even if the that guy said ''when a man is tired of London he is tired of life''. :-)

TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT THEIR job, internal auditors must be able to write, speak, and listen effectively.

Additionally, listening is difficult because people don't work as hard at it as they should.

Internal auditors must listen to explanations, rationales, and defenses of financial practices and procedures
