The Economy of Milan 🇮🇹 - Italy's economic motor?

[@francesco9281]

Your pronunciation of Italian names is spot on! I would think you are Italian if you also didn't have such a good English pronunciation haha. Great Channel!

I had the great opportunity to live and study in Milan, and God I miss this beautiful city!

Thank you for talking about Milan, from Milan!

[@economicsinaction]

Grazie mille! È una bella città Milano :)

It should be of note that the luxury goods and textiles produced in Northern and Central Italy have been not only of renown, but have maintained sustained demand throughout the centuries. It’s crazy to think that these centers of specialized production have enjoyed almost uninterrupted demand despite centuries, wars, invasions, plagues, and changes of regime and nationhood. The industriousness Italy has employed in this industry is something really unique, economically and socially, I think.

[@ULlisting]

Also, very importantly, Milan and Lombardy as a whole, have been a center of metal fabrication industries since the Middle Ages and continues to this day with automotive and other complex mechanical products.

You gotta thank the thousands of illegal Chinese workers.

[@sergpie]

@@RobertSmith-up9rz Lol, those are in Tuscany. Nice try, though 😂

[@sergpie]

@@ULlisting Yes! The automotive industrial complex of Turin in the 1940s-1970s was monstrous. Detroit-like, but never got depopulated, just rearranged and filled with trees. The Venetian arsenal also employed when of the earliest predecessors to standardized mass-production through the concerted employment of guilds to build bulk quantities of specialized parts and compartments.

majestically produced! I loved it, you just earned a sub!

[@economicsinaction]

Thanks you very much ! :)

[@andreaiachelli6195]

Can you make a playlist talking about some italian cities economy? Please make one about Catania 🥺

[@economicsinaction]

Absolutely, I'd like to address some of Italy's structural economic issues as well as highlight some lesser known Italian cities like Catania. Perhaps I will include it in a video about Sicilia :)

[@Jo-oi1gg]

Would love this!

[@andreaahh]

@@economicsinaction could you talk also about Sardinia?

[@costaskl6589]

@@economicsinaction what about Bari?

[@mygetawayart]

@@economicsinaction generally i'd love if you could make a video highlighting the Italian north-south divide and why it's so rooted and complex, also analyzing some cities and regions in depth. For example, we just received the latest results for the INVALSI, (basically government mandated SATs to assest the state of the overall education levels) and the picture was quite depressing, especially for the southern regions of Calabria, Campania, Puglia and Sicily while most northern regions, with Lombardy, Bolzano and Trento most of all right at the top of all lists. It's rooted in history and has led to mass migration, underfunding, underdevelopment, organized crime, low education levels, racism and xenophobia for the south, with rapid industrial and commercial growth, a disappearance of local languages from big cities, high pollution for the north and in general a large difference in median household income and ability to pay taxes.

[@alialdoukhi2014]

bruh i just watched the paris video and your pronunciation of French was good and now im watching this and your Italian is also good !! damn i honestly sensed passion from that and subbed. good luck man

[@economicsinaction]

Thanks for the sub! What can I say? I enjoy language learning :)

[@Shubham-ou1ge]

[@economicsinaction]

100% will do! Thanks for watching :)

[@mananaggarwal522]

Please make a separate video for London or London Metropolitan Area

[@economicsinaction]

Sure! I have some content on London in production at the moment. I haven't considered doing one on London's metropolitan area but I'll run a poll and see what people think :)

[@tomp1836]

Really like your Vids, covering some eastern European countries would be interesting.

[@economicsinaction]

Thanks ! No doubt at all, I will definitely cover some Eastern European countries :)

[@nickcorleone8709]

I do not mean this in at all a racist way but this video implies there are many black people in Milano when I can assure you there are not!

[@nevecenere]

Thanks for this video. Grazie

[@economicsinaction]

Grazie per il commento, mi fa molto piacere presentare un tema italiano. Sicuramente ne farò un altro :)

As an Italian I yet have to work with a foreigner who has shown many a higher degree of efficiency than myself. I am about to call BS on this false notion of we Italians not being efficient compare the many lazy people I met so far.

[@RobertSmith-up9rz]

Haha! Humble man.

[@salvo5108]

@@RobertSmith-up9rz That's what all the other lazy people tell me when I am hard at work. Show off, what makes you do it, you know you don't have too, why are you trying to make us look bad, blah blah blah. Unfortunately it takes a certain mindset to be efficient and I have not seen it arise that often among my coworkers. Will power is a rare trait. And mind you, these are the same people who pleasure themselves calling Italian lazy, mamma's boy, can't fight in wars etc...

[@wellaciccio2362]

@@RobertSmith-up9rz no, unfortunately, I have to confirm. I think that it is a reminiscence of US propaganda during WWII, where Italians were "pigs" and "lazy", but quite frankly by watching what Americans do to food, it does not seem that Italian are pigs. Sorry not sorry. By the way, I live in the UK. Italians are not lazy at all.

[@MichaelJones-bd7kj]

I’m convinced that if the Italians made a fashionable turd that you carry around with you and called it Fabrioni Machenelli it’d still somehow catch on with upper class snobs

[@sergpie]

The term “millinery” comes from the root noun “Milan”; it’s been a thing since like the 1400s. Undoubtedly good at what they do, regardless of how weird the fashions can be, the sustained demand through the centuries, despite continental-scale wars and devastation, plagues, and regime changes, really says something.

[@RobertSmith-up9rz]

Italian fashion is pretty tacky, no offense. The only success of that industry is the sunglasses/perfume and by supplying material (fabric, leather) made mostly by thousands of illegal Chinese immigrants.

[@wellaciccio2362]

@@RobertSmith-up9rz You cannot generalize Italian fashion at all. I understand if you are talking about dolce and gabbana, but calling Prada tacky...I mean, you may have to wear some glasses. Luxottica ones, that is :D
