Dopo avere passato in rassegna lo sviluppo della "cittadinanza" (sotto un profilo storico-concettuale) e le molte facce di questo concetto (sotto un profilo filosofico-analitico), l'A. argomenta la sua convinzione che una idea generalizzata ed estesa di "cittadinanza", anche più, e meglio, di quella inevitabilmente astratta di "giustizia", possa costituire il fulcro di un nuovo paradigma filosofico-politico: proprio quello di cui le società contemporanee hanno bisogno. Anche perché siamo sì divenuti cittadini nella sfera pubblica dello Stato, ma siamo rimasti sudditi a fronte dei poteri, sia pubblici che privati, che governano le nostre vite nella società civile (ad ogni livello: locale, nazionale, europeo, globale). A tal fine l'A. suggerisce di riconsiderare quella qualificazione soggettiva che siamo soliti chiamare "cittadinanza" come un fascio di funzioni: non solo il cittadino-elettore nella sfera stricto sensu politica, ma anche il cittadino-produttore, il cittadino riproduttore ed educatore, il cittadino-consumatore, il cittadino-risparmiatore, il cittadino-contribuente, il cittadino-utente, il cittadino-residente, e così via. Ferma restando la democrazia politica, per ognuna di queste funzioni è possibile, nonché necessario, trovare nuove forme di democrazia rappresentativa che restituiscano al cittadino i poteri e la "voce" di cui pare al momento spogliato.

Pantaleoni and Pareto re-established economic theory on the basis of homo oeconomicus which, despite criticisms, went on to become a strangely popular concept, not only among economists, but even in common parlance, where it has assumed a confusing variety of meanings. With a view to setting things in order, this book distinguishes: the methodological hypotheses, which could possibly be corrected on the basis of new economic psychology; the weak anthropologies, retrievable as 'given abstractions' within typical contexts; and finally the extreme versions, that reduce human nature to absolute egoism. The author makes a radical criticism of the latter, drawing upon the extensive tools derived from psychology, philosophical anthropology and political philosophy, and thus succeeds in demonstrating their lack of empirical foundation, their conceptual inconsistency and their ideological dangerousness.
