"[...] that all 'wise princes should do, who relate, not only have to have regard to these scandals, but to' future, and those with any Obvi industry, because, by providing a distance, it can be remedied easily; but is waiting for you appressino, medicine is not in time, because the disease has become incurable "
(" The Prince ", chap. III, Niccolo Machiavelli).
(" The Prince ", chap. III, Niccolo Machiavelli).
E 'can not be denied or, worse, pretend nothing happened! One of the worst "These scandals," that is of concern both to the rulers of nations, as the simple housewife is the current economic crisis. Started on tiptoe, almost quietly, pretending to be a trivial financial crisis, apparently a headache for the few professionals or for those challenging the adverse gods, gambling the stock exchange, has grown by acquiring the features of the crisis in the banking and credit system, but after first American world. Yeah! And this development has led to the metamorphosis of this crisis, which, in spite of myself, has shown to us poor mortals his true identity crisis of the economic system. Mica pinzillacchere eh! I mean. We're not talking about stock market quotes, financial indices, parameters, access to credit ... or anything that is seen with mysterious nell'immaginifico collective distrust sometimes irreverent. Of course not! We are talking about demand, consumption, real economy ... the one with which both the housewife as the politician they face daily.
But
"c'azzecca" Machiavelli's Prince with the crisis? - Before proceeding with the answer, I apologize all'avveduto reader, who read the engraved quotation marks (which, as such, as noted, is not mine and which I ask no claim authorship), may have had a sudden jolt visceral ... but this is it! The wise prince should have regard to the future problems that may gripped his community, and it attempts to remedy by any trick, so having the same ineffective if there could be remedied without too much effort. Aihm But, as the sharp vision, can barely see the horizon policies, principles, and so wise ... this crisis has happened "between cup and neck" in less than no time ... and here it is, like a putrid fever, the funny and blatantly disrespectful to any therapy: it seems that now, "the medicine is not time, because the disease has become incurable "! But do not despair. Since Machiavelli 1500, to make himself look good in the eyes of the Medici, showed off his talents as an expert in political science, medicine has made great strides ... so do not despair. But we still feel a bit 'what he has to tell us our friend Nicholas.
"[...] nel principio del suo male (si fa riferimento al tisico, ndr), è facile a curare e difficile a conoscere, ma, nel progresso del tempo, non l’avendo in principio conosciuta né medicata, diventa facile a conoscere e difficile a curare. Così interviene nelle cose di fatto; perché, conoscendo discosto (il che non è dato se non a uno prudente) e’ mali che nascono in quello, si guariscono presto; ma quando, per non li avere conosciuti, si lasciono crescere in modo che ognuno li conosce, non vi è più rimedio”.
Cinquecento anni fa era noto che, sia in medicina che nelle cose di fatto, nel suo principio, un male è facile da curare, ma difficile da riconoscere; di contro, nel suo stadio avanzato, lo stesso è facile da riconoscere ma difficile da curare. Il problema è proprio questo: quali sono gli elementi che permettono al politico, “prudente”, di riconoscere un male? Quale politico avrebbe potuto prevedere la crisi e a questa “con ogni industria obviare” ? Qual è, oggi, il politico “prudente” , ovvero quello che ha riguardo agli “scandoli futuri” ? Il rispondere a queste domande è di fondamento ad ogni terapia e ad ogni politica! In tasca non ho l’identikit, o il manuale del bravo politico. Ma sono convinto che per differenziarsi dalla pletora di politici ed amministratori formato Ikea , To compose the circumstances and according to the preferred design, the political expression should be true of a party which, to use a phrase from my dear friend, "really has his soul in people." Who but the people, and provides signals from elements on the health of civil society? Who but the people can provide input on developing the economic fabric of a country? I therefore believe that the local roots and civil society is the condition sine qua non for good politics. And that it has roots in the time when the people, through democratic mechanisms and steps Congress, to choose their own representatives
... Let's come to our crisis. We have heard about economic recovery to boost the competitiveness of the system, oxygenation of the banking system ... we have heard a lot going on! I think the first step to end the crisis resulting from its own people and institutions closest to it: the local authority, the City! For years this taxation and Europe, we stress conditions, more privately, as they must be red or green peppers we buy at the market, milk quotas, the amount of tomatoes produced per hectare of land, exchange rates, the interbank interest rates .... It 'not very well known thing? E 'union, the European Union, born out of marginality (sweet peppers, the currency), but that does not have the cultural and political thing ... And so the various charges is the so-called stability pact: to try to control public spending, the EU imposes the objectives, limits cost to each member state. With a cascade mechanism, and according to the autonomy and sovereignty of each state, the latter requires, in turn, the "sub-targets" to each branch of the Public Sector: Health, Universities, Ministries, Regions, Provinces, Towns ... Nothing negative, in principle. If it were not for the manner in which these objectives are imposed on the municipalities. First, there is no difference between common and common: they all equal, all gray cats, the largest town (regional capital) to the smallest. The City of Milan is treated the same way as the City of Citadel ... No local feature is taken into account, not local peculiarities to be respected ... In short, even the shadow of federalism! But even more ironic is that in the calculation of spending limits, we take into account the payments that the City needs to do because of work already contracted, and contracts in the past ... it illogical and devoid of common sense, as alloy choices future policies of the past. The paradox is that a municipality may trovarsi, se nel corso degli anni precedenti ha appaltato una moltitudine di lavori pubblici, a non poter, di fatto, rispettare i vincoli imposti dal patto di stabilità (a meno di vendersi i gioielli patrimoniali di famiglia)! Un comune che volesse rispettare il patto di stabilità potrebbe essere posto nelle condizioni di non onorare impegni contrattuali precedentemente assunti (bloccando i pagamenti), esponendosi anche ad eventuali azioni risarcitorie. Risultato: molti comuni, ad esempio dell’entroterra veneziano (e parlo per esperienza), con disponibilità di milioni di euro nelle proprie casse, sono costretti a tenerle congelate, bloccando o per lo meno tardando i pagamenti. E la contropartita qual è? Una moltitudine di piccole and medium-sized businesses suffering liquidity, which in turn slow to fulfill its commitments with its suppliers, which, with shortages of cash, we will credit the salaries of their employees ever forward, who ... .. which ... ... .. CRISIS! Yeah. I'm really convinced that the first step to end the crisis resulting from the people and institutions closest to it. Wow! We free the common constraints of the Stability Pact, and an injection of oxygen to the economic system is guaranteed. And we know what the system is based economic development in the Northeast. On the strength of the medium and small enterprises and family on the company ... and looks a bit ', those whose fortunes are more tied to the local.
.
Probably (but I do not think, if only for a while 'presumption of sound), I proposed a solution format that Ikea is not good. But if so, someone hurry to find the right medicine before it is not time, because the disease has become incurable ", otherwise it is fine for my medicine, even if considered a nuisance effervescent suppository!
PRINCE
