| FLORENCE. Unions, business organizations, research centers of Tuscany The reduction of the productive apparatus of the region, the fall in production capacity, the fall in employment in the face of global crisis and the tightening of credit that a region heavily oriented to ' export risks a lot like Tuscany in traditional sectors (textiles clothing footwear) but also in industrial areas remained: Steel, scooter, railway engineering. But the tourism industry goes wrong and is an export sector, when foreign tourists come to us with their currency is as if exported museums, galleries, landscapes, restaurants, hotels, etc.. Operators are very concerned about: the figures speak for themselves. But maybe they had counted a little 'too much on Berlusconi.
The major environmental organizations, other battles against the wind, they say that a response to unemployment and job insecurity can come from the conversion of industrial crisis in demand or costs, and new investments for the redevelopment of environmentally friendly products (recyclable and longer use), energy savings (conversion of buildings from public ones for both the hot and the cold), new sources of energy (solar thermal, photovoltaics, thermodynamic-, wind, saving and rational use, industrial heat, etc..), the conversion of private transport to the public with lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions, technological innovation in the field of automatic control systems and distribution and energy consumption in all fields: industry, services, housing, health, education, transport terms , recycling, reuse, etc..
On all these arguments we hear a great silence from the political side, apart from the general sympathy for those who lose their jobs, a bit 'to the less precarious with nothing left overnight, because the parties, after decades of forced liberalization of the labor market does not know what to say and hope that there would be a little' embarrassed. And aside from a few conference on green jobs and welfare reform (all things necessary to charity) you get nothing.
For things to do, that is investments in science and technology, industrial equipment, support new product demand for investment goods (machinery, infrastructure, training, etc..) Products for wide use, but low release carbon, new jobs are plentiful. And the industry, tour operators or services they never will if it involved a large public investment program including regional (the resources required are acting in strict application of the temporary fiscal deficits), the market is unable to deal with conversions of this magnitude; creates the crisis (and is also a poor allocator of raw materials, goods, money and capital income does not speak even given the results) but can not resolve them.
After preaching for decades that was enough to rely on the market and liberalize all: finance, water, transport, health, common assets such as land and the environment, so there would be more wealth for everyone, what they tell us today our industry and our politicians ?
