Yes to the patent for CureVac: “German” Italy challenges Paris
What is the cause of the Italian Patent Office’s rush to renew the twenty-year-old patent on the stabilized mRna technology used by Pfizer and Moderna for their Covid vaccines for five years to the German biotech company CureVac? Because the renewal has not been made known to Parliament, which instead wants a temporary derogation […]

Long-term contracts, high royalties and public enterprises
Gas prices have risen about 5 times the average, pushing an increase in bills that could exceed 90 billion euros by 2022. The price of oil is close to 100 dollars a barrel, after negative prices in 2020. Some recall the scenario of the shock of the 70s: the crisis […]
Work
Minimum wage, stronger CCLs, security: the Spanish example
The growth of the Italian GDP has made noise in recent weeks. We are finally growing again, or so they say. In the words of Robert Kennedy, GDP measures everything except what is worth living for. In Italy we could say that GDP growth measures everything except how workers are. AND […]

Even the rich (and the incomes) pay: more progressiveness
Nearly six million people in absolute poverty. Almost 11 million Italians at risk of poverty. One in 10 employees is poor and 1 in 4 has a low wage. On the other hand, the wealth of Italian families during the pandemic increased, plus 100 billion in 2020 alone, net wealth equal to 8.7 times the […]
Research
First: increase the funds. Then make their distribution fairer
The action of governments over the past twenty years on schools, universities and research has been in continuity. The underlying idea is that the direction of the training and research system is inadequate with respect to the needs of the economic system and that only with a reform of the former would it be possible to relaunch the latter. The interventions were […]

Enough bonus 4.0 Large “vertical” projects with national champions
The triumphal announcements on GDP growth in 2021 and on the recovery of pre-Covid levels by the end of the year take place “in the silence of the general crisis”, to put it in the verse of an apocalyptic song competing in Sanremo. A long crisis that sees Italy’s per capita income stagnate at the levels of 1999, when still there […]
EU constraints
No rigid thresholds on spending, aim for full employment
Inflation is rising, families are in difficulty, many businesses are relocating or closing. Is it time for another recession? Much depends on what governments will do and on the debate in the EU. We talked about it with Antonella Stirati, economist of the University of Roma Tre. Are Italian public accounts really too fragile? The public finances situation reflects […]

It seems that the commission recently appointed by Minister Enrico Giovannini is also asked to evaluate the possibility that, upon expiry of a concession, the State decides to re-appropriate the assets “freely transferable” as provided for in the contracts. Once the concession is over, the state could abolish tolls, as the Spanish government has decided to do. The well-being […]
