Innovator Country, Not Entrepreneurial State

What our country is lacking is not an "Entrepreneurial State" – an expression often misunderstood and manipulated to promote forms of neo-statism from the 1970s – but a state oriented towards the development and growth of knowledge and the market, that promotes research and innovation in all contexts and areas of society.#Italy needs to be an "Innovator Country," in all of its expressions and ...
