New Date! ECIPE Seminar: Is the West Stagnating?

March 28 2017
Venue: ECIPE Office, Avenue des Arts 40, 6th floor, 1040 Brussles
Speakers: Alan Beattie, Sandra Parthia, Lúcio Vinhas de Souza, Bjorn Weigel
Time: 15:00

Will Brexit, Trump and populism accelerate Western decline?

With Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, it is difficult to escape the feeling that “the West” is declining – and not just vis-à-vis other parts of the world. This year Europe will go through an election cycle with great risks of continued political upheaval. Economic growth may be improving, but neither Europe nor America are economies with spring in their step. Where’s the West heading – and why? Are Western voters rebelling against too much innovation and globalization – or against too little change? Is the Western economy on the doorstep of a period of fast productivity growth – or is it rather on a trend of falling economic dynamism that will reduce economic opportunity and increase inequality?

Please join us for a panel discussion on the future of the Western economy and economic leadership.
