Abstract

Come auspicava Salvatore Biasco, negli ultimi dieci anni e' riemersa l'esigenza di un intervento pubblico che guidi il mercato. Per dare robustezza a questo orientamento, bisogna partire dalle innovazioni portate dai processi di liberalizzazione e riforma della regolazione, senza considerarli riduttivamente parte – qui il mio dissenso da Biasco – di una egemonia culturale neoliberista. Si tratta di utilizzare gli avanzamenti degli ultimi trent'anni nel campo della regolazione per collocare la politica industriale sul terreno delle corrette regole di mercato. Un'impostazione di politica industriale che, per guidare realmente il funzionamento dell'economia, deve saper tenere conto delle risposte degli operatori all'intervento pubblico e del ruolo del mercato come meccanismo per verificare l'efficacia e l'efficienza delle misure adottate. As Salvatore Biasco hoped, in the last ten years the need for government intervention to guide the market has re-emerged. In order to strengthen this approach, we must start from the innovations brought about by the liberalization and regulatory reform processes. We must not consider them reductively as part of a neoliberal cultural hegemony – here is my disagreement with Biasco. It is necessary to use the progress made in the last three decades in the field of market regulation to design industrial policies on the basis of correct market rules. An industrial policy approach that, in order to really guide the economy, must be able to take into account the operators' responses to government intervention and the role of the market as a mechanism for verifying its effectiveness and efficiency.
