2008: un po’ d’ottimismo, nonostante il degrado

A few thoughts at the end of the year after some optimistic (and surprising, for some people) articles by il Sole 24 Ore. Italy is condemned to an inevitable decay? No. It’s true that the country is losing ground (even if politicians often deny it), but I am with the people who think that we…

Riflessioni ferroviarie, dopo l’articolo del NYT

“Italy is in a funk”, wrote the New York Times. In my opinion, something worse is happening, because Italians do not believe any more that the political class, any political class, will be able to solve their problems. Even the small ones, like the dirty toilets in the trains. Incompetence, unefficient or corrupted administration, but…

Viva la democrazia! Sì, ma quale?

How do we imagine democracy in the 21st century? I don’t think that the system of electing political representatives for four or five years, as envisaged two hundred years ago, is still satisfactory for the citizens of modern states.

I rivoluzionari del senso civico

“Senso civico” means being concerned about the public good. It’s an attitude which in Italy is lacking, and this explains the weakness of our political system, in the left as in the right wing. From Michele Salvati to Beppe Grillo, columnists and bloggers discuss this point, without being able to find a solution. May be…

I precari? Sono la maggioranza dei lavoratori

Beppe Grillo started a crusade against precarious jobs in Italy. The problem is real, but the “Biagi law “which the extreme left wants to change is not responsible for it. Only a broader reform of the work laws, including higher indemnities for unemployment, can offer a real change of the situation.
