Economics & Finance

Traditionally materials for the chosen few, today’s economy and finance have become an object of interest and attention for the entire public, also because of the deep crisis that is affecting mostly all countries, including those not usually considered at risk .

A recipe for growth

⇆ Ormai è chiaro che la nostra classe politica è del tutto incapace di far crescere questo Paese. Lo hanno dimostrato gli ultimi governi e non si può dire che non ci abbiano fatto sperimentare di tutto: centrodestra, centrosinistra, governi politici e tecnici, più una serie di improbabili coalizioni che non hanno tuttavia sortito al [...]

The easy way and the hard way

It's been more than fifteen months since I wrote «But is it really necessary to continue to grow?». In that article I asked myself if the model to pursue was really that of a continued economic growth, or rather it would better to build one based on quality of life and satisfying everybody's basic needs.

Nevercrisis

Non si tratta di un caso isolato ma di un problema di politica bancaria che ha acceso un segnale d'allarme sul sistema creditizio italiano. Il problema tuttavia delle relazioni che ogg [...]

Total tax amnesty

I'm not going to get to do predictions on the upcoming elections, given the tangled situation that has arisen. However, I can make a judgment on the strategy that Silvio Berlusconi seems to have planned.

That missing subject

Come tutti sanno, gli otto anni previsti sono suddivisi in due gradi: tre anni di scuola secondaria inferiore, detta anche scuola media, e cinque di scuola secondaria superiore, detto anche liceo.

The Wealth of a Country

The wealth of a country is based in the productive economy, that is, the ability of that country to produce goods and services and to generate a good demand for them, both internally and, especially, abroad.

Finance is killing the Economy

Introduction It is for several years now that our economy is in crisis. Not just the old Europe, but even the United States which, because of the fall of the Soviet Union, found themselves for some time the only Great Power in the world, as well as China now, which seemed to be launched toward an unprecedented economic growth, are facing a [...]

But is it really necessary ...

Imagine living in a country where everyone, absolutely everyone, has a house, maybe nothing sensational but in proportion to the needs of his/her family. Imagine also that everyone in that country, men and women, has a job with good pay, even here nothing stratospheric but sufficient to ensure a dignified life, two meals a day, a holiday of [...]

Tax Fairness

⇆ Il 18 novembre 2011, in una conferenza stampa a Montecitorio, il Presidente del Consiglio Mario Monti ha detto: Faremo in modo che lo sforzo da fare, fiscale e di ammodernamento, si richieda alle categorie che hanno meno dato fin qui. Tuttavia, già da alcuni giorni, sembra evidente come fra le misure che entreranno in gi [...]
