"The new untouchables", Thomas Friedman's editorial on the New York Times is a perfect example of how the same word "financial crisis" can have two very different meanings. In the Us, they are already thinking about what have caused the economic downturn and how to address the issue, while in Italy, we are still stuck in the middle of the quagmire. The new untouchables in in the Us are the young workers who can invent new ways of making money, in Italy creative young people tend to live the country as soon as possible.
