Optimists and pessimists confront each other on the economic development of Italy. Two underlying themes are at the core of the daily debate. The first one: how to measure this development. Is it sufficient to look at GDP, or should we consider a type of development that takes into account the overall well-being of the nation, including education, healthcare, and welfare, measurable with new tools such as the BES (Benessere Equo e Sostenibile – Sustainable and Equitable Well-being)? The second one: is it still the time for laissez-faire and the invisible hand, or is it time for a new strategic role of the State as a support to the business world? After a dialogue among protagonists of the Italian economic life, Minister of Economy and Finance Giorgetti will shed light on the subject.
