++ 'Second era' of underground economy - CENSIS ++

(ANSA) - Rome, December 2 - A "second era of the underground economy" has begun aiming for "more income" from schemes ranging from saving cash to the sharing economy, think tank CENSIS said in its 50th report on Italy's social situation Friday. It is different from the 1970s, CENSIS said, because it is "a weapon of pure defence".
