The comment.

Monday, September 12th the book “The good expense” written by Giuseppe Pennisi and Stefano Maiolo was presented. Does Italy expend too much? Maybe, or maybe not. Does it expend carelessly? For sure. These are the main topics raised in debate that was held yesterday. Law should be clearer. Concerning bureaucracy, policies should focus more on training and updating. Furthermore, it would be useful to promote technical competences and evaluation policies grounded on statistics and data.
