Ever since the financial crisis in 2008 Europe has struggled with low economic growth and political turmoil. Can the European countries overcome their problems through political reforms?
Has the European Union exhausted its efforts, or is it still capable of stimulating new economic growth?

Legrain is the author of «European Spring: Why Our Economies and Politics are in a Mess – and How to Put Them Right”.
