The genesis and evolution of the various crises of the last 15 years have highlighted how the financial system is today more exposed and vulnerable to systemic risk, defined as the risk of uncontrolled propagation of the crisis of a single player or area of an economic system to the entire system. Systemic risk is now more relevant than in the past due to the increasing interconnection between the players of the economic system and the increasing speed of flows of goods, money, and man. Aware of this, this essay investigates the need to analyze, predict and manage systemic risk in a holistic way and through the logical-conceptual schemes that can be borrowed from the Science of Networks.
