I think that what the last financial crisis shown us is that "too big too fail" is the way to go. If you're big enough, you'll be saved and forgiven, because your fall could create too many problems.

This government, with all its shortcomings, is the first in some decades that tries to put italian people first, rather than finance, the euro, or banks.

That said, the bet is risky. Salvini started his activities by showing how the EU is inept at solving the issue with immigrants from Africa and Middle East (eu countries could not agree on an eu-wide solution, leaving border states to deal with it).

Now the government wants to transfer that ineptitude feeling to the economy.

Is Italy actually too big to fail? We'll see.
