Monti speaks out
Mario Monti, one of the Italian members of the previous EU commission, and one of the world's most respected economists, has decided to speak out by means of an article on Corriere della Sera.
It's about Italy, and it's not merry. But it's all true, and I strongly believe that it's up to all us Italians to, as he says, roll up our sleeves and start building a better country.
True, the governments we have "enjoyed" in the last 15-20 years are largely to blame for this situation. But let's don't forget that it's us who elected them, and at the end of the day a political class is a more or less representative sample of a country. If there were not so many corrupt, sleazy criminals in this country they would not systematically get up to government positions.
So let's go to work! myself, I'm working on my PhD thesis. More on that later.
