📰Well then, shall we start with a review of this week’s The Economist.
Cover of the week — predictable.
🇪🇺Liberal Europe is paying for years of weak growth, poor services and politics without results. In France GDP is growing by slightly more than 1%, and the budget deficit is set to remain around 5%.
🇫🇷After the unrest 80% of French people look to the future pessimistically. Centrists are falling apart, and Marine Le Pen is already gathering 34-38% support.
The Economist warns: democracy is not destroyed by a single radical leader. It is destroyed by a prolonged feeling that moderate government cannot fix anything.
