UNITE TO DIVIDE
|
After a season of great movement we are achieving, with the Prodi-D'Alema proposal, a moderate political initiative, which would like to create a new leadership for the opposition and reduce the left wing to a marginal position. In the background, there is the game with Berlusconi's government which re-launches the social offensive and the ruin of democracy; a clash of opinions which leads to different results. Aresta and Di Siena offer some ways of interpreting this new political process.

BETTINO'S HANGERS ON
|
Fassino spoke disparagingly about the last contest between Craxi and Berlinguer. Apart from the bad taste in the expression of his judgement, what is important is a distortion of the substance: at that time they were not facing a moral position of the utmost integrity but mistaken because conservative, and another one unscrupulous but rightly innovativeThey were rather two innovative proposals: one in accordance with the rampant capitalist restoration, the other turning on a modern critisism.

INDUSTRY: THE GAP BETWEEN ITALY AND EUROPE
|
The sociologist of Turin has recently published a convincing story about the dismantling of the great Italian industry. Here he goes further. He explains how, in the Italian industrial complex, the gap is still growing in respect to Europe in the most advanced technology (optotechnology and nanotechnology). And there is the absolute absence of policies and of institutional instruments capable of finding remedies. A memo for the left wing.

THE AUTUMN OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY
|
The ageing of the population - instead of being countered in a consistent manner with a regular growth in employment - is the excuse for the attack on public pensions. Through two colossal manipulations: the financial disaster (that of the government more than of Social Security) has resulted in the need for cuts and the presumed advantages of privatisation. A large part of the left wing is still timid about confuting diagnoses and prognoses.
