Despite all the unease over austerity politics voters ultimately endorse it
The result of the 2015 regional elections in Italy is in line with that of the recent parliamentary elections in the UK and the regional elections in Spain where voters expressed their frustration over the pain of austerity politics but ultimately endorsed the latter for want of a better alternative Continue reading

The argument that Southern European countries need to exit the EURO in order to regain the capacity to devaluate their currency if economic reality dictates so is flawed. After all, it is really hard to imagine that people anywhere could go back to the old Citroën 2CV days of late. Continue reading
The EURO rescue effort and the Italian election result
We were expecting that sooner or later something would come up that would challenge the solidity of the Euro rescue effort. We didn’t foresee however that it would be Italy that would cause the subject stir. Continue reading
