Europe is facing an existential challenge – with a spiralling political, economic and security crisis, amidst geopolitical fracturing on a global scale. The threats facing Europe could hardly be more serious as we live through the most dangerous time in decades. Political turmoil in France and Germany – two of Europe’s largest economies – have only heightened Europe’s economic problems in the face of intensifying competition with the US, and the volatility of the Russia-Ukraine war. Against this backdrop, ‘The Trouble with Europe’ delivers a timely, extensive assessment of where Europe stands – and where it may be heading next.

When Cal loses his beloved wife Nikki, and his teenage step-daughter Zoe moves out to live with her father, his whole world falls apart. But life works in mysterious ways. And when a prestigious university wants to pay tribute to Nikki with a posthumous award in Zurich, Cal sees an opportunity to both honour his wife, and mend things with Zoe. The plan is a European inter-railing trip to Zurich – but what Cal hasn’t anticipated is Zoe lying to her father about it, and inviting their other relatives to join too. What starts off as a very awkward family reunion – punctuated with some sightseeing – quickly takes a turn as tempers fray, secrets are revealed, and the pent-up grief they’re all still carrying is unleashed. There’s nothing quite like family. Except family on holiday!

Wars are expensive, both in human terms and monetary ones Since at least the 1640s, in the aftermath of the British Civil Wars, the phrase ‘blood and treasure’ has sought to encapsulate these costs. Two economic notions, in particular, feature in this book: incentives and institutions. A rational look at incentives explains even the most seemingly irrational behaviour – and few things are as irrational as war. This book examines why Genghis Khan should be regarded as the father of globalisation, how New World gold and silver kept Spain poor, why some economists think of witch trials as a form of ‘non-price competition’, how pirate captains were pioneers of effective HR techniques, how handing out medals hurt the Luftwaffe in the Second World War and why economic theories helped to create a tragedy in Vietnam.
