Pierre Wunsch, Governor of the National Bank of Belgium, speaks, with Professor Paul De Grauwe of the LSE European Institute chairing. He argues that Europe is stuck in a 'Eurosclerosis 2.0' period: despite repeated 'EU grand plans', growth is very low and the innovation gap with the US and China persists. Looking at technology, institutional set-up and geopolitical positioning, he says old European recipes no longer work and a more honest debate about trade-offs is needed, asking whether Europe can still thrive as a low-risk, low-return society.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/eurosclerosis-20-in-a-changing-world-from-repetition-to-rupt-37084/", "official_url": "https://www.lse.ac.uk/european-institute/events/2026-27/eurosclerosis-2.0-in-a-changing-world-from-repetition-to-rupture", "image": "https://noky.io/images/96d32c90ea5e6b37e1b9c6e15a161102245005990f34687068b6a9c0f4b3fa0e-600.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-29T18:30:00Z", "end": "2026-10-29T20:00:00Z", "place": "London School of Economics and Political Science", "address": "Houghton Street, WC2A 2AE London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "The Threat of Capitalism Without Democracy, with Martin Wolf", "start": "2026-11-12T19:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-12T20:30:00Z", "place": "Conway Hall", "address": "Red Lion Square 25, WC1R 4RL London", "price": "Premium Seating £49.99, Standard £34.99, Concession £19.99 (each +£2 venue levy)", "price_from": "34.99", "price_to": "49.99", "tickets_url": "https://conwayhall.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/1173677311", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["society/economics"], "description": "An in-person talk titled \"The Threat of Capitalism Without Democracy, with Martin Wolf\", part of the Intelligence Squared series at Conway Hall.
