The imaginary economy constitutes a significant part of the economic system, primarily generating services that provide income to their providers. This sector emerges as a spontaneous response to the rapid productivity increases in manufacturing, where social inertia prevents a corresponding rise in consumption. The gap between what can be produced and what is consumed has led to a decline in blue-collar workers and farmers, resulting in a vast, seemingly unproductive service sector filled with employees whose roles are often unclear. As automation advances in factories, the bureaucratic demands, such as forms and signatures for banking, have only increased. This so-called 'solution' creates its own set of problems, revealing numerous absurdities within the economic system. While these issues have sparked critical and satirical commentary, a coherent explanation has been largely overlooked. This work employs sociological mechanisms, often ignored by economists, to clarify many of the absurdities prevalent in contemporary life. It does not propose remedies or moral judgments but instead challenges existing economic notions, making it relevant for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of today's economy.

"Il Grande Vajont" è l'espressione con la quale i tecnici della Sade chiamavano l'enorme diga che il 9 ottobre 1963, con la frana del Toc e l'esondazione verso il paese di Longarone, causava quasi 1910 vittime. Questo volume, pubblicato nel 1983 e oggi completamente riveduto dagli autori dei vari saggi, rappresenta un inquadramento generale del problema-Vajont (dal punto di vista della cronaca, della legge, dell'informazione, della geologia); ma al tempo stesso non si esime dal levare un forte grido d'accusa nei confronti di una strage ormai dimenticata.
