Ci si è arresi a pensare che sia un dato di natura. In alternativa si dà la colpa alla crisi. Ma si tratta di un'impostura. Certo, la crisi ha accentuato la divaricazione tra chi aveva già molto e chi aveva appena a sufficienza. Ma questa polarizzazione patrimoniale, che ha cominciato ad allargarsi negli anni 80 per diventare infine il baratro attuale, è una causa ancor prima che un effetto della crisi.

Some study that I used to know: What do you remember from high school?

Some study that I used to know: What do you remember from high school?

For example, Walk of the Earth, created their one-cut video showing the 5 band members playing the whole song on one guitar.
