  • A reply on Talk: Colin Powell: Kids need structure

    Jan 24 2013: I do not think that the conference by Mr. Powell was a propaganda message. I have not read it in this way. Yes, I agree with you about children's behaviour: they should not to follow other people like sheep, but thinking with their brain. The main point is that children start to learn something during their childhood close to parents, so the first thought or opinion is similar to them. Then when they start going to school they learn to have personal opinions and express their critic analysis.

  • A comment on Talk: Colin Powell: Kids need structure

    Jan 24 2013: It is really true that the best gift for a child is the way he starts his life. It is strongly true that in each country all citizens, not only their parents, are responsible for not leaving them behind. But what can we do, all together, as world's citizens, to make sure that this could be happen also in a poor country?

    A comment on Talk: Hans Rosling: The magic washing machine

    Sep 30 2012: I think we do not thank only washing machines, but every type of technological products which let us save time. Maybe, the problem is: "How do we use our saved time?".

    A comment on Talk: Rachel Botsman: The currency of the new economy is trust

    Sep 30 2012: I totally agree with this statement. Reputation is the most important thing to get trust from others. If we have a look at Italian politicians, they have not a good reputation in the world due to their well known behaviour. If they want that people trust in them, they have to change radically their way of thinking civil servant life.

    A comment on Talk: Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity

    Sep 21 2012: It is sadly true! When children show creativity, they are considered mould-breaker. It is pretty incredible that teachers do not understand the problem or they ignore it. Creativity is an endless energy!

  • A reply on Conversation: The Future of Economics

    Sep 9 2012: Thanks for your contribute. Sure, "social capitalism" may sound like a noble idea. Maybe it is not a great solution, but what about the other ones? Both capitalism and communism failed their purposes. So the great challenge is to find a third path. Yes, "social capitalism" could not be the right way to solve definitively the issue. So, the question is: "Is it possible to grow without profit?".

  • A comment on Conversation: The Future of Economics

    Sep 2 2012: In my opinion, I think that economy is going towards a new vision to intend manufacturing system. Today, thanks to the economic crisis (or the financial crisis), to survive inside the market competition, companies are not interested any more in profits. A successful can be built taking care of social problems. This can be a great point of strenght for realising a social capitalism where the profit means social accountability and wellbeing for people and not only business for entrepreneurs.

    A comment on Talk: Ashraf Ghani on rebuilding broken states

    Sep 2 2012: May capitalism be the main cause of the current economic crisis? Long time ago capitalism has been considered as the best reply to comunism. Only after 1989 we saw hat capitalism was been drugged. Citizens wellbeing was been built debt by debt, and now that the debts must be payed back, capitalism does not work any more. Why? Maybe because finance has became most important than the real manufacture. Then,that is the reason why it is better pay back money through speculation rather than with cash flows.

  • A comment on Talk: Hans Rosling: Asia's rise -- how and when

    Sep 2 2012: In one word: WONDERFUL. In this way, Statistics has become an amusing topic. The lecturer was able to involve audience in his presentation for all the time. A great performance, he mixed his personal experience together with his studies to produce an interesting prediction about the world economic growth.
