Italy is in the midst of a substantial decline. To say they are experts, with reliable data in hand, corroborate even more the case. But what is primarily measures the state of "form" of a country? The first meter to determine what is to analyze the GDP is the total value of goods and services produced for consumption in a given period of time. Italy, about ten years, sees its GDP lower than the average of EU member states in 2005 was equal to zero, and in 2006 a sign of recovery with 2% in 2007 is expected around a stationary one, 7%. Not to mention the resulting data regarding the average income of an Italian citizen who is considerably lower than the European average.
Yet our country has been in the past, the protagonist of a remarkable economic boom. In fact about 1951 to 1970, lived in Italy all intents and purposes its economic miracle. Making a parallel one could say that we were the Chinese of today, The end of traditional Italian protectionism played a key role in the revitalization its economic system. The major impetus for this expansion came from areas where the prevailing large groups such as automotive, precision engineering and textiles.
With the strike of 1980 began the decade black caused by the oil shock. The economy would be affected in a serious way and began to present the specter of inflation, which immediately caused the devaluation of the currency which caused, in turn, increased labor costs. E 'has been calculated that in those years, public debt has increased from 57% up to 124.3% in 1994. Today
are several factors that doom us to lag growth than the eurozone, the cost of debt that we drag behind (70 billion per year), the pensions which are 15,5% of GDP, the inefficiency of public administration, the delay in the education system and training the scourge of the south, but what most of all, I think, as a ballast weight in the economy of the Italian system is the phenomenon of tax evasion, unfortunately, increasingly common: in Italy it allocates between 15 and 17% of GDP which is almost twice the European values. An unacceptable given amnesty by the government increased that did not punish evaders of the state. And 'the South to control the ranking black Sicily, Calabria and Campania regions defined after due consideration to black.
But what can we now bring the beautiful country on track? Certainly lower the debt and increased the coverage for less money the citizens of new taxes that affect the pockets of Italians.
To do so, Italy must align with the EU reducing interest (now 4.7%) and investing in social security, welfare and education in which, to date, pay a significant gap in relation to the European average .
Despite these alarming figures, there are signs of recovery as the unemployment rate fell to 5.7% (lowest level since '92). So much still to do, however, to achieve the objective of giving a radical economy of our country.
