Meritocracy, Growth, and Lessons from Italy's Economic Decline

Lobbies (and Ideologies) Against Competition and Talent

Beschreibung

Italy's recent economic decline presents many lessons on the importance of meritocracy for economic growth. Connections, rather than merit, are a long-standing feature of the Italian elites. This book uses international comparisons on social capital, governance, education, corporate standards, and more to evaluate Italy's economic performance.
