BERLINGUER SEMPRE ATTUALE
Eugenio Scalfari OF EDITORIAL ON "La Repubblica" on August 29, 2010
(excerpt) THE ETHICS OF
BERLINGUER (REFLECTION SULL'AUSTERITA ', ECONOMIC POLICY AND COSTS GLOBALIZATION)
During the Meeting of Rimini (note: Organized by CL), the intervention of Tremonti (...) spoke of austerity in mind that in years gone by that concept was sponsored by Enrico Berlinguer (Editor's Note: Secretary of the Communist Party Italian), which proposed to make the cornerstone of a new economic policy. It 's true, with thirty years saw Berlinguer advance of the great social reorganization that was coming, it took some implications related to policy and institutions, decided to reinvigorate a new policy of his party so that it would put at the head of that reorganization ..
Berlinguer was not only to take that road (...) In short, the Left Government and the Left Opposition.
Calling Tremonti was therefore very timely: the Left, the Left, he knew in advance the times and crises that were gathering, and saw the impact on Italian society.
Tremonti but did not make explicit the meaning of that position. Berlinguer wanted it left to lead the impending social rehabilitation, to ensure that not only were the weakest classes to pay the cost. This aspect of the problem has been obscured by our Minister of Economy and is instead the key issue.
If you need to implement a comprehensive institutional modernization and a transfer of welfare from wealthy economies to emerging ones, if such a massive reorganization can not be separated from a similar restructuring in affluent areas; is clear that the weakest must participate in the very front row for this operation. The middle classes and lower-middle of the reorganization may not be social without being at the same time the main subject. This is the missing analysis Tremonti (...) Marchionne () Marcegaglia.
Entire Rimini Meeting has been silent on this point : omission all the more striking because on one occasion been promoted by a major Catholic communities, complete with a papal blessing and presence of cardinals.
It is unacceptable that such a blatant omission is justified by the argument that the political aspect does not apply to businesses and entrepreneurs.
Big mistake: the political economy has as its central theme of ethics, that the rights and duties, of happiness and unhappiness, justice and privilege.
A Catholic Community should put at the center of his thoughts this subject and put it to his guests. If it does, it becomes like a lobby in fact became CL for some time.
