As well, sadly, as taking part in the violence, governments responded by trying to buy social peace — first by implementing a very restrictive labor law which had the effect of making the law courts the principal arbitrator in industrial disputes; and second by an explosion of public spending (and thus borrowing) chiefly on pensions and a national health system.
I governi hanno risposto, oltre che con la violenza, cercando di “comprare la pace sociale”, prima con leggi del lavoro molto restrittive” e poi con l’esplosione della spesa pubblica, soprattutto in pensioni e sistema sanitario.
