Good.I hope, then, that my master is less arrogant with his student....I'm waiting to know your therapy for the Eurozone:I'm curious about your idea...

In Eurozone's crise there are many guilties.Also Southern Italy,included Italy,has heavy guilts.The problem is not a liberist politics but the wrong idea of Northern States,especially Germany and Finland:Italy,Spain,Greece and Portugal have to change but not in a one year. Haste and arrogance...

I believe that it's not necessary be arrogant to write in a forum. I am delivering my ideas and I don't like some arrogant manners. Since I'm talking about my earth(Europe)and my nation(Italy),Baiamonte could be less arrogant and blusterer,I presume.

Italy has an ancient gap between North(industrialized and rich,similar to Center Europe for GDP)and South(relatively poor and very similar to Greece,Portugal or a Balkanian State).This is important to understand my country. Now,Eurozone is not a complete construction:one money but a separate...

I agree. Austerity could be right but not in a long and deep recession,as in Europe from 2008. I am a liberal-democratic and not a socialist,I don't hate Merkel but German politics in Europe are wrong and they could destroy the E.U.

Dear Baiamonte(your surname seems Italian:cool:),if Southern Europe goes out from Eurozone,German exportations could be seriously damaged,because the return to lira,dracma,peseta could advantage those countries. Therefore,Merkel would have to avoid the break-up of Eurozone and not to excerbate...

Ok. At present in Italy there is a cabinet of national solidarity,similat to 1976's cabinet and to present Greek government.From last week the Prime Minister is Enrico Letta,belonging to Democratic Party(center-left)but the majority has constitued by P.D.L. too,Silvio Berlusconi's...

The error is not the austerity but to want realize it in a weak economic phase.

In my opinion,the austerity is not an error,because Economic healing is necessary in States as Italy,Greece,Portugal and Spain but Norther Europe imposed a too quick healing,based on more taxes and more cuts on Welfare State,so recession is terrible in Souther Europe. In Italy we that"a cicada...

Dear friend,first of all excuse me for my lacking English. However,Italy,Greece and Portugal are capitalist economies but with influential corporantions("camarille"in Italian),that limit economic freedom and so Italy(especially Southern Italy,more than Northern Italy)is more similar to a former...

I'll repeat my opinion:I'm not contrary to economy strictness and I admit that Italian tradition-as in all Souther Europe-is not favourable to economic sobriety,except for some cabinets(Amato,Ciampi and Monti). However,the hard politics made by former Prime Minister(Mario Monti)and wanted by...

Italian President(Giorgio Napolitano,re-elected by Italian Parliament last week)charged Enrico Letta, a progressist and europest political,to make a national unity's cabinet,similar to Andreotti's cabinet in 1976.

European austerity consists of more taxation and more cuts to Welfare State.I'm a liberal and europeist but I believe that especially an increase of fiscal pression,as Monti's cabinet made in Italy in 2011/12,could be letal for Italian economy and so in Greece and Portugal.

In my opinion,an excessive austerity isn't just an economic mistake,as economic recession in Southern Europe demonstrates;it's mostly a TERRIBLE political error,because of a terrible disaffection in confront of Europeist ideal,especially in Southern Italy(Spain and Italy are traditionally...

Yesterday Italian parliament re-elected Giorgio Napolitano for President:it was first re-election in the republican history.
