Demand of accountability through the global social media

paolodanselmi — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:32:34 +0000

I think that consumers and citizens have a lot of leverage over multinational (or global) corporations. They have leverage especially over those corporations that make products. Products are inherently more subject to evaluation than services, they are easier to evaluate over time and space. They are then more subject to international competition. Consumers and citizens also have leverage over international corporations through the global social media which help coalesce diffused interests into one strong voice.

The same leverage of social media is not obvious vis-à-vis governments and monopolies. Governments and monopolies appear to be inherently local. I am not talking here of major political upheavals; I am talking grey, ongoing democracy and grey, everyday services. Government here means public administration. Your local police precint. Your local health care unit. Your local transportation authority, utilities, and so forth. I am talking about that 25% of the workforce that is sheltered from competition and I am talking of that 50% of the economy that is managed through government programs.

On Mario Monti. Letter to ‘The Economist’

paolodanselmi — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:02:42 +0000

Sir,
It is an unfortunate circumstance that implementation of draconian laws is taking place in Italy only in the “boat-tax war” (August 25th, page 43) while many other bills are being stalled by sluggard bureaucracy which is dragging its feet in the drafting of the implementing regulation.
Like all Italian premiers, Mr. Monti too perceives himself as a super-legislator and forgets to take command of the bureaucracy. Benito Mussolini used to say that Rome is not governed through Parliament but through the Directors General of the bureaucracy. That was a culture of implementation.
Best regards,
Paolo D’Anselmi
