So Italy's law is basically "be extremely inefficient and don't compete with political insiders". In the US we had similar rules enforced by armed men - don't compete with the Lucchese in the Bronx, the Genovese in Little Italy, etc. Clearly this system is working well for Italy. Maybe in the US we can end RICO and bring back the old system ruled by the capo di tutti capo. That could help boost our economy to Italian levels.
