Additional quotes by Giovanni Floris

But what is stopping meritocracy in Italy? Why has respect for ability and talent, which seems to have developed in the Anglo-Saxon world, not developed here? Giuseppe De Rita blames the education system, particularly state schools, which have levelled everything down, while economist Diorella Kostoris points out that in Italy the dominant idea is to protect those who do not deserve it. Thus, the system guarantees everything to everyone, and the result is that it causes adverse selection, i.e. it penalises the best instead of rewarding them. (p. 169)

Sono sicuro che non si debba essere elitari. Ma l'idea che siccome chi c'è ora non sta lavorando bene, sia sostituibile da chiunque perché tanto uno vale l'altro, è un'idea pericola per la costruzione di una Società. L'idea che il denaro venga visto come un simbolo di peccato, come qualsiasi gradino che distacca dalla povertà o dalla semplicità possa essere un gradino che ti allontana dalla purezza, questa è un'idea molto pericolosa.
