Europe’s economic future is at stake. It has fallen far behind the US on multiple metrics and is not productive or innovative enough to close the gap. Now the return of Donald Trump to the White House has raised more existential questions. Can the EU do what is needed to secure a prosperous, democratic future for its citizens? In this episode of Business Beyond, we put the key questions to Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe, former Italian prime minister Enrico Letta and Martin Wolf, the Financial Times chief economic commentator for almost 30 years.
