Re: Same agenda you Europeans failed to achieve.

Well, I'm afraid Europe's pathetic failure to achieve (GDP) growth has its roots not so much in "ideology" as in "culture"... The article below focuses on Italians' shortcomings and inability to cope with globalization --but the amazing truth is that the same article could be written about just ANY European country! So, when reading it, please keep in mind that you can substitute "Europe" for "Italy" and "European(s)" for "Italian(s)"...
