The Italian Economy Has Been Held Back

It Is Rather Unusual For Italy To Be At The Forefront Of Pro-market Initiatives.

Europe Has To Avoid Old Prejudices And New Ones. That Means North Versus South, Rich Versus Poor.

There Was In Italy A Hidden Demand For A Boring Government Which Would Try To Tell The Truth In Non-political Jargon.

There Is No Government In Europe Where Ministers Go Through That Kind Of Confirmation Process, Which In Fact Is Modeled On The Way The U.s. Cabinet Members Are Confirmed.

In The Area Of Macroeconomic Policies, I Think We'll See More Centralization, Like In The Budgetary Sphere.
