Why Italy does not grow more, not less than ten years?
Why has shrunk the manufacturing base, through lack of access or the expulsion from the labor of millions of potential producers, which has the direct consequence, in the absence or severe shortage of purchasing power in a considerable slice of ' all consumers, the reduction in demand and the contraction of the internal market of goods and services.
It 's true that the Italian economy was always straight especially on exports, but in adverse conditions, such as those established by the European policy of stability, the international crisis and competition from emerging countries, we must start from revitalization of the domestic market and this is possible only through social policies, labor policies, policies to combat the insecurity, which has become a structural condition, unable to revive over all firms, as can be expected from a flexible type physiologically feasible where there are concrete alternatives to the loss of jobs.
If the collection was the introduction of new productive investment, it could continue to hope for an automatic solution in reasonable time and not the Bible, the employment problem, which is the key to the resumption of growth in our country. But the experience of all these years has shown that savings and profits take other roads: that of financial speculation, the migration of capital abroad, that the relocation and investment in other countries where the business risk is lower and profits are more secure, for the provision of substantial subsidies from the States and to a much lower labor costs, in terms of money and responsibility, given the level of embryonic guarantees accorded to workers in less developed countries than ours.
Economists say that growth can embark upon the increase in productivity and thus require sacrifices on the actors in the production process. By businessmen allegedly a courageous commitment to technological improvement, the workforce a renewed effort to limit the temporary partial waiver of rights and won at different times and most favorable.
What is not considered sufficient that the request for commitment and sacrifice is likely to fall on deaf ears and be ineffective in an individualistic society, as today is the Italian company, which has lost the sense of collective goals and the common striving for the improvement has given the field of pure defense of the various islands of privilege, whatever the type of unique benefits achieved.
To increase production, productivity and competitiveness system and restart the development is necessary, however, that all categories, classes, social classes, from those who most benefited from the various economic contingencies, both the positive, both negative, are prepared to cramp and make a contribution proportional to the respective position to stop the overall decline, to overcome the present stagnation and return to their own benefit and for all, the path of growth.
forces of the left have been trying to convince the public of the need to begin to affect fiscal fact that immunity enjoyed by full-time classes (there are 610,000 families with assets millionaires or multi - Millionaires, excluding home ownership), remained unheeded by a government, so the problem does not exist or is designed simply as a further milking the middle class and workers. But the same left-wing opposition, unable to promote breakthroughs in European policy level, as regards Italy does not go beyond a cautious and timid reforms designed to not produce results, even assuming that this line was accepted and made their next government by a different color or sign.
Just look at the program Nicky Vendola, where concern to capture the electoral consensus seems to prevail over that of Pull out the country of the blind alley in which, by now time, it was driven out and bring it back from lowly positions to high positions in the ranking of countries in the world or in Europe itself.
What do you propose, in fact, Vendola? Included a reduction in military spending, the cancellation of some major works, the reduction of costs for the computerization of government (an area that should, instead, more power), the reinstatement of ICI for real estate valued at more than to 800 000 €, an increase in registration tax for SUVs, increasing to 23% of the tax on financial income. All this to raise a total of € 13 billion and a half.
But what you do with 13 billion and a half, when it would take 80-100, to significantly reduce public debt and return an income to live to millions of Italians out of work or a temporary work?
We have reached a point of no return, where the mild reformism is no longer enough painless, feasible in the time of fat cows. To save the country, should take the road of social revolution, which distributes the necessary sacrifices, according to a criterion of justice, and in the common interest of all, they are going until better times.
You may request an exceptional effort to workers for increased productivity and a moratorium on wage demands times to adapt, as it would be fair, Italian wages to those in Europe, only if the recipients of high incomes and high rents, and confront similar proportional sacrifices, starting with a good example.
a charge applied for a limited time, on incomes over € 100,000 per annum, and assets worth over one million euro (excluding home ownership), would create a fund for the gradual reduction public debt and interest on debt and a fund for the payment of a basic income to people age indigent and unemployed.
Other significant financial resources can be found by fighting tax evasion and transfer illegal capital abroad through a tightening of sanctions even to the total seizure amounts not paid to the tax authorities (will intensify the sanctions on violations of traffic rules, you can not see why we should not do the same for that real social theft represented from escaping and to circumvent, especially when substantial sums). And also, the public investment can also be supplied with resources stemming from the fight against corruption and organized crime following the acquisition of substantial assets by the state.
The income is opposed by many to suspect that this is a form of welfarism easily translatable into a disincentive to work and riding. But not, if it is linked to work performance, managed by the State or public or entrusted to the third sector.
In fact, there are a number of urgent needs of modern life, where you can meet through the creation of businesses that generate economic profit. This is the field of social services, targeted assistance, protection and security of the citizen, is the field of urban decoration and maintenance and enhancement of defense, is the scope of activities related to the use of leisure time .
Taking and updating the old idea of \u200b\u200ban Army of work proposed by Ernesto Rossi during the years of Reconstruction in the double-value corporate response to the needs of most vulnerable population and youth experience the transition from school to work - you can connect the citizen's income for the performance of such activities, social and civil rights, expanding access to them for the citizens of any age who are, or remain more or less long periods, deprived of employment and can, alternatively, use them as a traineeship training, guidance and redirection.
It should be noted that the cost of basic income, so understood, is not added, but it replaces, in part or in whole, that the allowance unemployment, other social benefits and layoffs (while keeping their jobs until the formal termination of the relationship). In the case of a genuine reform of the school - which has nothing to do with the retrospective adjustments of our day - you could take the proposals made in the seventies in the reduction of one year cycle of secondary education, offering students the opportunity to a period of post-school training / employment, preparatory to the choice of university or work.
A large capital and human resources unused mortified today could complement and support the labor market, social coping with emergencies that do not currently have specific possibility of satisfaction and finding a place and a chance to be put to good use in waiting times, prior to entry or reintegration in the formal labor market.
We are facing a crisis era, which can be tackled and won only freed from the cages conceptual and operational theories and economic policies, designed and implemented in other historical periods, and tapping into the spirit of a permanent democratic revolution, which was proposal at the dawn of the Republic from the Action Party and now is used in the light of current needs, the New Party of Action.
