@cesifoti Have you talked about the cases of Stockholm / Nordic countries in your book? They seem to be a great breeding place for knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship
Buon 25 Aprile a tutti.

@jeffhmn@michaelshermer@BjornLomborg Excuse me? Lomborg has been thoroughly debunked 20 years ago with facts and logic by climate scientists. Only because you didn't read it , it doesn't mean it did not happen
