Abstract
The decline of the Italian productivity and competitiveness is rooted in long-term weaknesses which have been deteriorated with the Euro to which anyway responsibility cannot be attributed . The weaknesses are rooted in structural factors, concerning the demand side of the economy, the income distribution among social classes and generations, the innovation policies; all these factors have contributed to the crisis of the Kaldor-Verdon law in Italy more than in other European countries. Only acting with policies focused on these factors it will be feasible to find the way out of the tunnel. The proposal of bargained productivity within a national policy, and even more important a European policy, addressed to growth instead of rigour and austerity, and supported by the distribution and demand role played by wage dynamics, represents the necessary change in the route of economic policy and trade union policy.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
