Angelo Bagnasco detto: «Urgono le iniziative che portino crescita e assorbano disagio sociale. C'è bisogno di lavoro, lavoro, lavoro. Non smetteremo di chiederlo, tanto il lavoro è connesso con la dignità delle persone e la serenità delle famiglie. Bisogna operare alacremente - (\*) - affinché i sacrifici affrontati possano ritornare il prima possibile a beneficio in particolare dei più deboli, dei disoccupati, degli inoccupati. E si possa dispiegare quella strategia pubblica di superamento della povertà, delle pesanti disuguaglianze e della vulnerabilità, che - accanto alla fittissima rete ecclesiale di solidarietà - possa rispondere a bisogni vecchi e nuovi»

Angelo Bagnasco aggiunto: «Sappiamo bene che gli istituti bancari giudicano ad oggi già pericoloso il livello della loro esposizione creditizia: ma noi non possiamo non far appello al senso civico e al dovere della solidarietà nei confronti delle piccole aziende e delle famiglie. Con grande rispetto - (\*) - invitiamo la classe imprenditoriale a ripensare alla facile strategia delle delocalizzazioni: la genialità che ci è riconosciuta deve trovare esplicazione nel ciclo complessivo della produzione, bilanciando lavoro e redditività, ma anche salvaguardando, pur in una logica non isolazionistica, l'italianità delle industrie e delle relative dirigenze»

Angelo Bagnasco detto: «A volte ci davano fastidio i vicini più poveri che, approfittando dell'esposizione geografica del Paese, varcavano il mare o affrontavano ogni genere di peripezie con l'obiettivo di partecipare in qualche modo al nostro benessere. Noi intanto pensavamo che fosse possibile crescere sempre, in un avanzamento continuo e illimitato. Ogni generazione avrebbe goduto in modo automatico e definitivo dei benefici raggiunti dai padri. Peccato - (\*) - che chi doveva vigilare, non lo fece a sufficienza. Ma anche quando qualcuno segnalava un rischio o l'incongruenza di certi atteggiamenti, veniva facilmente tacciato di disfattismo. Finché non è arrivato il momento della verità. L'equilibrio, rivelatosi più fragile del previsto, non solo si scuoteva come per ogni ciclo economico, ma si rompeva definitivamente. Una fase storica declinava e diventava inevitabile fermarci per fare il punto»
