For example, The Economist’s recent portrait of Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti shows that Italy continues to be stymied by labor rules that make businesses reluctant to expand beyond 15 employees (after which it becomes hard for a firm to downsize). To work smoothly, expansive macroeconomic policies require compatible microeconomic rules.
例如《经济学人》杂志最近对意大利总理马里奥·蒙蒂（Mario Monti）的描述就体现出意大利依然受到劳动法的制肘，使企业不愿雇佣超过15人以上（超过此数则难以缩减规模）。如果要更顺利地推动扩张性宏观经济政策的话，就需要令微观经济规则与其协调一致。
