We must innovate, we must tighten our belts, make sacrifices, and weigh in against our international competitors!

Between the energy crisis, deindustrialization, the euro, and generally the disastrous management of our leaders brought up on the religion of free trade, everything is in place to make us go straight into the wall! Understanding what is happening around our trade balance is crucial to grasp not only the economic issues, but also the political ones: because as our foreign trade deteriorates, our dependence on foreign countries increases, and our sovereignty collapses! ????
