A reform strategy for an entrepreneurial Europe
Niklas Elert and Magnus Henrekson, IFN and Mark Sanders Utrecht University, are arguing for a reform strategy for an entrepreneurial Europe in a Comment published in Encompass Europe.
"The European project is threatened by a nationalist populism sweeping across the continent. At its roots lie a perceived lack of opportunity in Europe, which yields injustice and feelings of frustration and anger. To counter populism, the European Union needs to support those that challenge the status quo. This will also help to tackle the "innovation crisis" that is currently plaguing the EU. This crisis can be addressed by undertaking extensive reforms in several areas, with the aim of promoting innovative, economic growth that benefits everyone. "
