According to Public Books, Fioramonti’s research shows that “the reliance on GDP derives from a technocratic worldview that glorifies experts, corrodes communal values, and devalues the natural world.”” For the LSE Review of Books, his research is a kind of “psychopath’s guide to bullying the world by numbers”, unmasking the pretension that “everything is ‘rational’, ‘independent’ and ‘objective’ and building fortresses of power around these intentional misrepresentations” . Fioramonti’s work has been endorsed by public intellectuals such as Vandana Shiva, Susan George, Raj Patel and Kumi Naidoo, the former executive director of the environmental organization Greenpeace. Fioramonti is also the first Jean Monnet Programme Chair in Africa and the president of the European Union Studies Association of Sub-Saharan Africa. By 2014, he also holds the UNESCO/UNU Chair in Regional Integration, Migration and Free Movement of People.
Fioramonti has co-authored and co-edited a total of ten books. Fioramonti’s books include the bestselling Gross Domestic Problem: The Politics Behind the World’s Most Powerful Number and How Numbers Rule the World: The Use and Abuse of Statistics in Global Politics. According to the Hedgehog Review, Gross Domestic Problem is one three most influential books on the gross domestic product published in the 21st century.
Fioramonti quit government on 25 December 2019, following the failure to provide the necessary funding for the Ministry of Education in the 2020 budget.
