This chapter recapitulates the findings, showing how financial and political instabilities feed into each other. We show the correlations between financial instability and the fall in investment and between a stagnating economy and the loss of trust in the stability of the democratic system. Italy is the only case so far of a “high-income trap” leading to long-term economic decline. The resilience after the pandemic crisis testifies to two prospective fields of research: the lack of credibility in the national institutions was successfully complemented by the European institutions. The vibrancy of the economy remains as a century-old attitude of Italians: a self-defense mechanism, rooted in centuries of skepticism versus public authorities. This might be a relevant factor in the survival of liberal democracies.
