In supermarkets to football, from insurance to magazines and TV, there's barely an aspect of Italian life not touched by Silvio Berlusconi. And he has become so rich in the last four years. And I think that there is part of commitment from him. This is sure. And power is so fascinating.
Power is much more than financial wealth and richness.
Power combines the two. That means that when he wakes up in the morning, whenever he needs to decide something that has economic impact, he'll certainly take into account the effect that this decision will have on his own economic interests and do what's best for himself, not what's best for the country. Silvio Berlusconi has made politics his business and vice versa. He promises to transform Italy into a modern, corporate nation. This is a state with an instinctive repulsion for everything that is free, for everything that is private, a state that is hostile to private property.
