On Monday 6 February Stefano Bartolini, Elena Carletti, and Giovanni Federico met Guy Dinmore, Rome correspondent of the Financial Times to talk about the historical, economic, social and political reasons that triggered the current economic crisis in Italy.
The participants in the dinner discussed extensively the various issues that need to be tackled to resolve the crisis. At the end of the debate they unanimously concluded that Italy has indeed turned the corner and its prospects are good in the short term. However, long-term outcomes remain unpredictable, and other major challenges will have to be faced.
The discussion is an initiative in the framework of the EUI “Opinion Making Press” cycle, aiming to expose the wider public to the EUI and its professors and researchers through the international press.
