Outside is cold and streets are still covered by snow. I am here in my home in Milan, warm, drinking white coffee and reading "The Sergeant in the Snow" by Mario Rigoni Stern.I am thinking about the life of the author, how much duress he had to bear fleeing from Russia with his comrades in the Second World War.

Graziano Mesina, one of the most notorious Italian gangsters of the twentieth century, on leadership."I never considered myself as a leader but even if you do not think yourself as a leader, people always serve the leader. It is not you that make yourself a leader. Your peers make it clear to you that they trust you, because you have a better vision, you are more intelligent or you are braver.

Price discrimination is the practice of selling the same product to different buyers at different prices [BD]. This is only possible under certain conditions. First condition is that the company applying price discrimination must enjoy market power. The reason for this condition is that a company in a competitive market must accept the price P* set by the intersection of demand and supply in
