The US journalist and financial expert Alan Friedman was the Financial Times' Italy correspondent for many years. He also reported for the International Herald Tribune from Italy, where his career as a TV presenter began. After the success of his book "Ammazziamo il Gattopardo" (Let's Kill the Leopard) he launched his own blog in Italy, which publishes his texts as well as commentaries by other international financial experts. In the meantime, however, only comments that Friedman had previously published in La Stampa appear here.
