Have the pleasure of inviting you to a
CONFERENCE-DEBATE
« European varieties of capitalism in the shadow of the Eurozone crisis »
Is European capitalism converging on a single model, as expected by European monetary and market integration? Or do national varieties of capitalism continue to diverge, and into how many models: two, three, four or more? And what impact has the Euro crisis had on such national varieties? These questions and more will be explored in a talk that argues that the policy response to the Euro crisis has had a differential impact that has negatively affected some much more than others. The final question is whether this is due to the greater virtues of some countries and the failures of others, to the characteristics of the particular variety of capitalism, or to the design of the Euro and its policy responses in the sovereign debt crisis.
