Tourists, scientists, and entrepreneurs approach space as if it were Columbus' new America, for better or worse. Today, as was the case many centuries ago, it will be private parties and their visionary intuitions that will make a difference. In her latest work, "Space Economy, The New Frontier for Development” (Bocconi University Press, 2022), Simonetta Di Pippo makes use of her 30-year-long international experience to lead us straight into the core of an industry that produces wealth and has a profound impact on international political relations.

There is still much to be done in this emerging field that has provided humankind with a wealth of knowledge that is mature enough to be managed and guided. "Space Economy, the New Frontier for Development" is key to understanding the way space, a field valued at about 469 bn dollars, will be evolving in the very near future.
