Some countries, like Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, have grappled with depression or recession for years and still suffer from unacceptably high unemployment, especially among young people. Practically on the whole continent, economic underperformance, coupled with rising inequality, brought political and social uncertainty. This toxic mixture threatens the integrity of the EU as a whole, causing frustration amongst citizens, and encouraging populist movements around Europe. Against this backdrop, the EU’s political leadership cannot continue with a business-as-usual approach. In his recent report, Joseph Stiglitz outlines a new set of rules for economic, political, and social governance in Europe that would help to recast a prosperous and equitable EU marked by peace and solidarity within the context of globalization. To improve economic performance and create shared prosperity, the rules of the European economy – broadly understood the fundamental policies governing the EU – must be rewritten. The discussion will be held in English. => more information<https://www.renner-institut.at/eventdetails/artikel/rewiting-the-rules-of-the-europenean-economy/> => registration<https://www.renner-institut.at/seminaranmeldung/?tx_powermail_pi1%5BeventUid%5D=650> By participating in this event you agree that any photos or recordings taken that include footage of your person may be published or used in any other way by the organizers of the event.
