Concluding remarks

When and how could we get out of the economic crisis that has hit the world in 2008?

The answers are not discounted, of course, because the period of time that should be considered for a prediction is short and there is the real possibility that something happening today is totally unpredictable but the chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, Olivier Blanchard said that will pass at least 10 years to come out from the crisis. The new world in which it moves the global economy is so precarious and without guides. Faced with the slowdown in Brazil, Russia, India, China, with the structural crisis of the Eurozone and the economic challenges that the United States are facing,  the uncertainty is the only constant.

The idea of Blanchard is that now there are no more excuses. The Eurozone has not eliminated the risk, increased starting in 2010, with the first request for assistance from Greece, a generalized collapse of the euro. After Athens, came the bailouts of Ireland, Portugal and now Spain. Then, perhaps, will come the Italy's one.

Our study and research to constantly update the blog that we have created about the crisis and its possible causes has helped us to give to our readers a general idea of the critical situation in many European countries, including Italy. We have collected a series of explanations, events, numbers and video in order to understand what is happening to the European economy, as well as worldwide. The work that we have done was very important to increase our knowledge on a topic that concerns us in terms of our lives and our future.  Although from our analysis results  a very difficult situation we need to find a way out. Unfortunately, the road is still long and we need a lot of patience to overcome the crisis, this because between all the several measures adopted by each countries, presently none seems to be the right one to address the situation in the best way.

Our goal hasn't been to provide solutions, but to arouse reflection in our readers about this topic, sometimes trying to be a bit ironic. As some economists say it's possible to sort out of the crisis and to return to a climate of balance. The problem is to understand when it will happen and if ten years, between 2008 and 2018, are enough. Hopefully so.

Where can we start? A possible idea could be to focus on innovation, the ability to innovate the organization of work, the way we produce, the technologies and the materials to be used in a sustainable way.

To conclude our blog’s work we have decided to share some funny cartoons.
