northern italians are far more productive than germans
but italian political system and south values drop the average which still quite good
you are shocked simply because when you think to italians you think to the southern italian stereotype.
Right on the money Angla. I don't think Europeans or Italians in this case are so different to implicate these differences in economic underdevelopment of some regions, and success of others. The best recent case is Ireland, which from one of poorest in Europe became one of the richest in mere 30 years. It is not the people but wrong or inadequate economic and political systems being responsible for not unleashing full potential of many european populations. Sometimes it is just a function of population density, where more populous areas are a magnet for investments and available work force, and ideas, which in return affects faster growth, plus first risers pull talents and emigration from poorer regions, magnifying the effect. It is very visible in US, poor Montana versus rich Washington state and both being mostly same european mix demographics.You have no idea what you're talking about...the so called "south" values didn't inhibit the southern Italians who immigrated to the U.S. in the slightest degree. They have had great success in the U.S., particularly in small businesses, where their willingness to take a risk, and their spirit of entrepreneurship have been amply rewarded. The difference is that here they had the opportunity; they always had the drive. Italy failed them; they didn't fail Italy.
