Identity and global competition is the subject of the 2009 Festival of Economics that every year confirms the importance of this event in which experts and scholars of international fame discuss the issues at stake and involve the public in meetings held in the old palazzos, cloisters, streets and piazzas of Trento.

The fourth festival, from 29 May to 1 June, will continue to address the most urgent and current topics of an economy increasingly linked to various aspects of human life. Following Wealth and Poverty in 2006, Human Capital, Social Capital in 2007 and Market and Democracy in 2008, it is now time to consider the relation between identity and social interaction in the process of globalisation and the questions it raises.

Is there really a global competition capable of imposing a global identity, suppressing traditions and violating systems of local values? Can international competition really ignore and

eliminate local identities? And to what extent are the different identities really incompatible with each other? How many identities have we? Can’t we be Trentini, Italians, Europeans and citizens of the world at the same time, like we are consumers, producers, parents and children in the space of a day? These are only some of the interesting topics for discussion and debate in the important Trentino festival which, as usual, varies in nature and language by combining the meetings and conferences with shows, concerts and games.
