Insomma USA e Europa, praticamente negli stessi mesi, decideranno di andare in direzioni opposte. Qualcuno più bravo di me potrebbe provare a ipotizzare le conseguenze di lungo termine di questa divergenza. Intanto penso che gli USA stanno facendo la scelta migliore: ma non in senso astratto, la NN non è un dogma, ma per le conseguenze che a cascata si dispiegheranno nei decenni a venire.
