The magazine writes ,
Labor taxation wedges of 40-50% , to which nosotros must add together “non-tax compulsory payments (NTCPs)” which "represent a rigid increase over as well as to a higher house the overall taxation burden.

Also left out is the termination of this sort of hyper-regulation on corruption. You tin imagine when the inspector comes inwards to encounter if all the paperwork is upward to appointment how the conversation evolves. (Ask Luigi Zingales)
Cleaning upward this mess is what nosotros hateful yesteryear "structural reform." How to reach it politically seems similar a nightmare to me. Fighting each of x one 1000 regulations 1 yesteryear 1 seems hopeless. Each 1 sounds adept , each 1 taken solitary seems tyke , each 1 has an entrenched involvement backing it as well as an regular army of bureaucrats whose jobs depend on its enforcement. And the economic scheme dies the decease of a one 1000 cuts. Can you lot actually abolish it all inwards 1 brutal swoop or grand bargain?
Certainly non if you lot don't try.
