                   Il premio Nobel 2006 per l’Economia, [Edmund Phelps](http://www.columbia.edu/~esp2/), scrive oggi sul Wall Street Journal riguardo i **due sistemi economici occidentali**:

> There are two economic systems in the West. Several nations — including the U.S., Canada and the U.K. — have a private-ownership system marked by **great openness to the implementation of new commercial ideas coming from entrepreneurs**, and by a **pluralism of views among the financiers who select the ideas to nurture** by providing the capital and incentives necessary for their development.

 

> …The **other system** — in Western Continental Europe — though also based on private ownership, has been modified by the introduction of **institutions aimed at protecting the interests of “stakeholders” and “social partners.”** The system’s institutions include **big employer confederations, big unions and monopolistic banks**…The system operates to **discourage changes such as relocations and the entry of new firms**, and its performance depends on established companies in cooperation with local and national banks…So different is this system that it has its own name: the *“social market economy” in Germany, “social democracy” in France and **“concertazione”** in Italy*.

> …I conclude that capitalism is justified — normally by the expectable benefits to the lowest-paid workers but, failing that, by the injustice of depriving entrepreneurial types (as well as other creative people) of opportunities for their self-expression.

**L’Italia è da sempre famosa per aver esportato nel mondo alcune delle proprie parole ed espressioni**. Un tempo questo accadeva solo per la musica classica ed operistica (*andante*, *allegro*) oltre che per l’arte del caffé (*cappuccino*, *espresso*) ora accade anche per la gestione del declino economico.

A ben vedere, una delle parole italiane più esportate è proprio ***fiasco***. La tradizione sembra destinata a rinverdirsi.
