What kind of market economy in Europe will enable societies to flourish? The final dialogue in the series will revolve around this question. We’ll discuss it with speakers with different European backgrounds: Luis Garicano (Spain), Dalia Marin (Austria/Germany), and Geert Noels (Belgium). They will discuss how and if Europe’s economic policies can be steered towards a more inclusive, just and sustainable model. Moreover, will such a model be a serious alternative compared with the US and China’s geopolitical dominance? Can we, despite the different cultures and countries we come from, find uniting ground for a European economic model? These, and more questions revolving around Europe’s economic state of affairs and global role will be discussed.
This last dialogue will also be followed by a podcast (published on 26 November), in which Mathieu Segers will comment on the different capitalist systems in Europe.
