New Book: Yes, Europe Can! Today, I presented the new book with the title above, by me and Stefan Fölster, in Brussels. João Marques de Almeida, Member of Barroso′s Cabinet, commented. It turned out to be really well-visited and a good discussion. The back cover text:

Europe is in decline. Eurosclerosis keeps a tight grip. Government interventions stifle innovation. The Americans are way ahead, and so will the Chinese soon be. Europe is doomed to become a museum for rich Indian tourists.

This is what we are used to hearing. It has been true - but no more. Europe is back!

During the past two decades, Europe has liberalized and opened up radically. Countries compete in free-market reforms. Europe is becoming the continent of new innovations and smart policies.

Europe should be set for great success after the recession - but only if we avoid the threat of protectionism.

This fact-filled yet accessible book describes how Europe can continue to rediscover its successful roots - the freedoms that unleash new prosperity. Yes, Europe can become the best place in the world to live in."
