once again and in very short time, my hero, Jacopo did it again. the feeling of Bocca's writings is all there and the translation is very effective.
Superwork, how to fake that everything works"Faso
tuto mi" (I do all by myself). The frantic working of super executive
directors, like the one of a political party leader, is the
introduction to a suffucating authoritarism. In the businesses of the
masters "of doing", the flag rises when he is in the firm.
The
problem of the political and governing Berlusconi lies in the fact that
he formed himself as an irreplaceable and provvidential business master.
In
Canale 5 he worried about everything. Lights, clothing, of its scents
and of its tastes; from the sacrilegious garlic to the ties with blue
and white spots, or jogging at dawn driving a small platoon of board
managers, visiting one of his villas in the Bermuda ( the course of
History, yesterday it would have been the "Fascist Hierarchs" who
jumped in the Circles of Fire, always on the run like Mussolini).
So,
as soon as he got the power to govern, he made of the Italian Politics
a continuous run, a frantic movement, a breakneck gamble:
today in
Washington, tomorrow Corfu.., there to assure Obama his North Atlantic
allegiance, here to give a little present to the Greek Karamanlis (a
golden butterfly like the veline?); and then again aeroplane and then
armoured car to meet the Russian President Medvedev, who cannot live
one day without the precious suggestions of Silvio.
Always without
showing a sense of nausea, or oppression, always between his body
guards, who look so tall and funereal with their "offering their body
to bullets".
"Faso tuto mi", and at his image the whole staff
tosses about, electrifies, it stretches out. But this frantic working
is a drug, a way to fake that the administrative machine, the
bureaucratic machine, works.
In the planned economies of the
Communist Countries, they thought that production and distribution
could work through Tolkac. Litterally the locomotives, the Superworkers
always on the run, who by any means could avoid the slow bureaucracy
and the planning errors, able to exchange anything for the benefit of
the production site: you give me so many tons of bolts, I give you so
many tons of tubes. And if they did receive goods which they did not
need, they traded them.
But with the Tolkac system, with the "faso
tuto mi", the Economy of the USSR collapsed, and the Chinese one had to
resolve back to the harshest capitalism to survive.
