You see, there's like, Italy has twice in the recent times named a couple of relevant technocrats for the...

First it was Goldman Sachs banker Mario Monti, then it was former ECB president Mario Draghi.

One was short-termism, not seeing the long run, not seeing these threats that can evolve like climate over many, many decades.

And localism, just caring about your local community and not the rest of the country or the rest of the world.

But both of them, both of those, uh, people who came to rescue that country were both members of the Trilateral Commission.

Uh, Maro- Mario Monti was one and Georgios, um, Papademos, Pa- Papa- I can't, Papademos or whatever of, uh, in, in Greece, and they ran the country, uh, for, uh, two years or so and then they left just as quick as they came u- came in the first place.
