Guest lecture: The eurozone’s triple crisis

I was invited to give a guest lecture at Spring Hill College’s Italy Centre on the current crisis affecting the eurozone, which was a pleasure. The student body was impressively engaged and motivated…lots of comments about the way they had seen the crisis affecting things around them in Italy. I argued that current attempts to ‘solve’ the eurozone crisis (even those relating to political union / fiscal transfers) aren’t really tackling the underlying problems of Europe’s overall decline in competitiveness and the weakening of the European Social Model.
