I live in Italy and the idea I've come up with is that staying little helps you dodging the bizantine bureaucracy.
When you grow big the bureaucracy will entangle your business to the point you'll need direct help from local politicians to move on. The very tragic downside of this is that this political link is two way and you'll need to return the favors by, for example, hiring endorsed (and unqualified) people and so on. This is one of the roots of our clientilistic society.
No wonders that a common expression here is "to have a saint in paradise".
- droithomme 14y agoInteresting! Are you skeptical that the article author's proposed solution of creating more regulations and thus making the government larger and more powerful is going to improve anything?
- gbrindisi 14y agoI am, since the bureaucracy is part of the problem I don't see why adding more bureaucracy might be of some help. What we need are simpler regulations and a modern public administration. IMO, of course.
