   Bureaucracy, the cross and delight of democracy

   Article 3. of the Constitution enshrines the equality of citizens before the law and assigns the Republic the task of removing obstacles that limit or prevent the full development of the human person and effective participation in the political, economic and social life of the country.
   In this sense, does the bureaucracy cooperate with the Republic in removing obstacles or does it itself contribute to creating them?
   Around this question, moderated by Il Sole 24 Ore journalist Emilia Patta, Fabrizio Fracchia, lecturer at the Bocconi University of Milan, Remo Morzenti Pellegrini, vice-president of the National School of Administration at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Margherita Romajoli, lecturer at the University of Milan, debated today at the Festival of Economics in Trento.

   The Europe we want cannot miss the ecological transition train

   At the Trento Festival of Economics, the panel curated by Intesa Sanpaolo entitled 'The Europe we want' featured Mario Pianta, President of the Italian Economics Society, Salvatore Rossi, economist and former Director General of the Bank of Italy, Francesco Saraceno, Deputy Director at OFCE Sciences Po in Paris and Annamaria Simonazzi, President of the Giacomo Brodolini Foundation, moderated by Alessandra Capozzi, Sole 24 Ore Radiocor journalist. The situation in Europe is certainly not the most rosy, where the prospects for growth and quality of development are strongly conditioned by monetary policy and fiscal policy. The Europe we want must first address a cultural problem with regard to the ecological transition, the real driver of growth. We are lagging far behind and are in danger of missing that train on which other states, especially China, have long since jumped.

   Employment, productivity and gross domestic product: the point with the Minister of Labour and Social Policy

   In video connection with the reception hall of Palazzo Geremia, the Minister of Labour and Social Policies spoke at the Festival of Economics, dialoguing with Il Sole 24 Ore journalist Giorgio Pogliotti. Among the topics discussed were employment, training, inclusion and resources.
   At the opening, some Istat data: Italy is progressively approaching the 24 million employed with 62.1% employment rate, the highest rate ever. A positive figure that, however, when compared with the European average, still sees us 13 percentage points below. This is why the government is working on several fronts. First and foremost, the employment of women and young people, with policies aimed at family reconciliation and training. In particular, the minister recalled, young people must be involved in the great challenge of the digital and green transition.

   Navigating post-globalisation volatility:

   In an ever-changing post-globalisation world, dealing with volatility without suffering its negative consequences is a crucial challenge. At the Trento Festival of Economics, the event "Leadership Crisis and the Decline of the West," moderated by Riccardo Barlaam of Il Sole 24 Ore, explored these geopolitical issues. They discussed whether the pendulum of history is irreversibly swinging eastwards and how the changing West affects international relations. In the meantime, the Chinese group BYD announced the imminent arrival in Europe of the Seagull electric city car, sold in China for around $10,000 and expected in Europe for less than €20,000, a highly competitive price.

    A Mosquito without veils

    For years now, La Zanzara has been one of Italy's trend-setting radio programmes. On air on Radio 24, the programme also plays on the decidedly sparkling relationship between the two presenters Giuseppe Cruciani and David Parenzo, who are very far apart in their view of things. For the first time this morning, at the Festival of Economics, the two souls of Zanzara met the public in a real press conference. A Q&A between the girls and boys who filled the Teatro Sociale made up of questions and curiosity for Cruciani and Parenzo on stage together with two of the most bizarre characters of the radio talk show: Filippo Champagne and Nevio, known to Zanzara fans for their inordinate passion for the game.

    Network and quality of supply for the Italian university as a factory of excellence

    To make the Italian academy a factory of excellence in the eyes of the world, more so than it has been to date, thanks to an offer that is truly attractive to students at an international level. A goal in collaboration between the ministry and the universities themselves, while respecting their autonomy, the one outlined by the Minister for Universities and Research as guest today at the Trento Festival of Economics. In the discussion hosted by the Regional Government building, starting with the focus "on the internationalisation of research and training" and questions from Sole 24 Ore journalist Eugenio Bruno, priority and topical issues for the Italian higher education and research system were touched upon: from the new frontiers such as supercomputers and artificial intelligence to the development of universities according to the logic of competitiveness and quality, with a view to aggregations, networks and 'federations' as proposed by the minister, passing through the 'hot' topic of protests and the announcement on the tests for medicine (the decree is on its way, the minister said, the places are 20.867).

    Natality, alongside economic support and conciliatory services a cultural change is needed

    Creating a 'family-friendly' social and cultural context that values parenthood and motherhood, guaranteeing women the freedom to have children - or not to have children - and the possibility of reconciling being mothers with the other possibilities that life can offer.
    This is the challenge to relaunch the birth rate in our country according to the Minister for the Family, Birth and Equal Opportunities, speaking today at the Trento Festival of Economics on the panel "Demographic rearmament à la Macron or women's conscious choices?", moderated by Il Sole 24 Ore journalist Barbara Gobbi.

    Pensions, healthcare and demographic transition

    Pensions, healthcare and demographic transition: this was the topic discussed today at the Philharmonic Orchestra in Trento by Alberto Brambilla, president of the Itinerari Previdenziali study centre, Elsa Fornero, now professor at the University of Turin, Stefano Scarpetta, director for employment, labour and social affairs at the OECD, and Marcello Signorelli, director of the Department of Economics at the University of Perugia. At the centre of the discussion, moderated by Corrado Chiominto, editor-in-chief of ANSA's Economic-Financial Editorial Staff, were three main factors: demographic factors, with the progressive ageing of the population; economic factors, because there is no healthy pension system if there is no functioning economy upstream; and fiscal factors, because in an already heavily indebted country such as Italy, the impact of tax evasion is very strong. The comparison also revealed insights that are not always considered in the media debate. For example: it is true that the ratio between young and old is unbalanced, but Italy is already not making full use of the available resources, i.e. precisely young people and women of working age (only 50 per cent of them are employed compared to a European average of 60 per cent).

    Tax reform: we need certainty and speed

    Lights and shadows of the tax reform emerged this morning from the Trento Festival of Economics panel 'A turning point is needed between tax, businesses and taxpayers'. Jean Marie Del Bo, deputy editor of Il Sole 24 Ore, asked the guests for an analysis of the Italian tax situation and the new tax reform. In a crowded reception hall at Palazzo Geremia, a varied picture emerged of strengths and weaknesses, expressed through the eyes of institutions, businesses, sector operators and specialists.
    After an interview with Ernesto Maria Ruffini, director general of the Agenzia delle Entrate e Riscossione, speakers included Silvia Castagna, social analyst and expert in communication and innovation, Maria Pierro, professor of tax law at the University of Insubria, Livia Salvini, professor of tax law at Luiss Guido Carli University, Lorenzo Fronteddu, director of corporate affairs and communication JTI Italia, and Simone Zucchetti, partner at the Tremonti Romagnoli Piccardi e associati law firm.
    Transversal needs: more certainty and faster response times.
    The event was also an opportunity to present the new Bruno Frizzera Philanthropic Fund, dedicated to the well-known Trentino tax expert, who passed away at the age of 94 in 2012.

    Work and business: the Italy of paradoxes

    On the one hand those looking for work cannot find it, on the other companies struggle to find the professional skills they need. This is the evident paradox that is characterising the labour market in our country, analysed in the panel 'Work and enterprises: the Italy of paradoxes', organised by Confcooperative at the Trento Festival of Economics. Gardini: 'Extraordinary maintenance is needed. The thicket of 1000 contracts must be cleared, in that pseudo-legality dumping lurks'.

    Circular economy: from interconnection with the maritime economy to new frontiers

    Applying the circular economy to the economy of the sea is a necessity. This was strongly reiterated by the Minister for Civil Protection and Sea Policies, who spoke at the Trento Festival of the Economy to focus on the protection and actions put in place to relaunch the role of the so-called 'blue economy'. In particular, working on the role of the sea itself and of a stretch of water as fundamental to the economy as the Mediterranean, where 24% of world trade passes through. The two economies are interconnected, the minister explained, for a sea that right now, if it could, would ask for help, finding itself in a difficult pathological condition despite initiatives, such as the UN agreement, aimed at protecting it. But its economy is relaunching itself in an important way, the Minister added, starting from southern Italy, which has changed its approach to the sea. And the growth of the 'blue economy' has seen an equal increase in attention to the environment and thus to the circular economy, with the reuse of boats, cloth and fish waste. Moreover, the first National Plan for the Sea, concluded the Minister, which aims not only at its valorisation but at much broader objectives, is also concrete proof of this.
