Un’Italia senza merito
Recent decades have seen Italy's economy grow in a modest fashion when compared to that of other Western countries. From 2000 to 2019, Italian GDP has exhibited an average annual growth rate of 0.32%. From 1970 to 2019, there was a halt in the growth of general factor productivity. A reduction,...

In particular, the existence of large areas of social disorder (e.g. widespread tax evasion) and institutional disorder (e.g. prodigal pension policies, from 1968 to the present). |
