Abstract: After commenting on the main lessons and messages stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic, the essay focuses on the two main ways-out from the crisis: on the one hand, the so-called flood model, on the other hand, the transformative resilience model. The thesis here defended is that what is needed in the present socio-economic conditions, is the second one. To this end, the most urgent strategies to be pursued are presented and briefly discussed. The paper ends with a critical examination of the two major ethical dilemmas generated by the pandemic.
