The interest in what happens in Italy, is to me a vital interest as this has a natural connection to work-related market, what others have to motive, it is another thing.

So, who is the next leader of Italy? Super Mario Monti!

And he was called "The Knight", which I guess is different to "The Duke"

He's gone now and none too soon for the Italian population. Still I doubt it will make a lot of difference to the economic problems they've got. They are far more deep rooted than just Berlusconi's policies.

Dunno if any of these would work better than what they are trying to do now.

They might have worked if they had been implemented years or months before the current crisis. It's probably too late now. All we have at the moment is more and more austerity duct tape being applied, which doesn't exactly inspire investor confidence. It sure won't grow any economies.

So, let's see; we have a US/Euro financial crisis that was caused by spending money we didn't have, and exaggerating that money's value as backing for highly leveraged bets. And we are planning on fixing that problem by leveraging more money we don't have. Only a bunch of money meddling politicians could come up with that idea. :-?

Thankfully we never joined the Eurozone so hopefully we (as in UK) won't be as hard hit as some of the members.

Merkel may yet end up with a damning epitaph.

The option "Take off and nuke it from orbit" is missing from that list...
