Dragoș Damian: „Luca Niculescu, îți spun un mare secret, ține-l pentru tine: există un mod foarte simplu de a verifica dacă economia României merge bine”

The author reflects on their experience as an economic advisor, expressing disappointment over unfulfilled ambitions for Romania's industrialization. They identify three main mistakes that led to their lack of impact: advocating for a shift from an import-based economy, suggesting higher taxes on profitable sectors, and criticizing detached economic policies. The author calls for a reassessment of economic advisors and emphasizes the importance of local production by encouraging the new Prime Minister to observe the state of the economy through local grocery shopping.
