Like a <strong>market culture<\/strong>. And also (and this is key) like a culture of rules, of fair competition, of transparency and of merit. A culture in which democracy and capitalism come together in a virtuous union. It\u2019s not just theory. It\u2019s actually possible, something that has already been seen, even if hindered, both in the past and in the present day and something that must be defended and reasserted. This concept is reiterated in the words of a talented Italian journalist,<strong> Pierluigi Battista<\/strong>, in a recent article of his in <em>Corriere della Sera<\/em> (20 January 2013): \u201cThere is still the idea, one that is highly popular among the fiercest defenders of the \u2018moral issue\u2019, that the market is a place of immorality and greed and that, therefore, any attempts to return to the market that which was taken away by politics can only aggravate the terms of the urgent \u2018moral issue\u2019.\u201d In fact, it was a certain political intervention (at times aided and abetted by the worst businesses) that upset the Italian economy, that made the cost of public works and services rise out of control (thereby distorting the market), that brought corruption to weigh on public resources, and that prevented fair, competitive selection among companies. As Battista continues: \u201cIt is the market regulated by laws, not asphyxiated by greedy, invasive politicking, that limits the opportunities for the political parties to get something in exchange for granting authorizations and contracts, which should not be given as magnanimous concessions of \u2013 unregulated and invasive \u2013 public power, but rather rights granted. Rights of the individual. Rights of the taxpayers. Rights of businesspeople, who shouldn\u2019t be forced to ask for favours. This is the real \u2018moral issue\u2019: seeing it as blatantly obvious that it is being bestowed like a favour when it could, and should, be exercised as a right.\u201d \u201cLess government and more market,\u201d it has been said. But that\u2019s not quite right. It\u2019s more about having better government, one that regulates and controls a market that is more transparent and efficient. And it\u2019s about businesses that nurture a better culture of competitiveness, of rights, and of duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A culture of enterprise.
