Mosler was a professor at the University of Bergamo and, since most of the signers of this article are Italian, I assume that they are associates of his through that connection.

Yes, Mosler has been very important for us Italians, that's true, but there is also a reason for this. Just think about Articles 1 to 4 of our Constitution, which state:

Article 1

Italy is a democratic Republic, founded on LABOR.

Sovereignty belongs to the people and is exercised in the forms and within the limits of the Constitution.

Article 2

The Republic recognizes and guarantees the inviolable rights of the person, both as an individual and within the social groups where their personality is expressed, and demands the fulfillment of the fundamental duties of political, economic, and social solidarity.

Article 3

All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinions, personal and social conditions.

It is the duty of the Republic to remove the economic and social obstacles that, by limiting the freedom and equality of citizens, prevent the full development of the human person and the effective participation of all workers in the political, economic, and social organization of the country.

Article 4

The Republic recognizes the right of all citizens to WORK and PROMOTES the conditions that make this right EFFECTIVE.

Every citizen has the duty, according to their ability and choice, to carry out an activity or function that contributes to the material or spiritual progress of society.

"Warren Mosler, founding Father of Mosler Economics and co-founder along with William Mitchell of MMT deserves the Nobel Prize in Economics" That's a terrible thing to say about anyone! ;-)
