EUROPE STUCK, CHINA AUTHORITARIAN, AMERICA ON THE BRINK

Three Models in Conflict

The global landscape reveals profound differences among the world’s major economic regions; differences that today manifest themselves more as divergent trajectories than as mere alternative approaches to development.
In Europe stable democracy prevails, but one marked by cultural stagnation and an inability to generate new growth.
China, on the other hand, offers a model characterised by extremely tight political control over both material and cultural production. Despite the absence of an open and pluralistic system, the country has achieved significant economic results.
The United States finds itself in an identity crisis: despite being historically the cradle of economic freedom and innovation, it is now showing signs of progressive polarisation and an increasingly intrusive central power.

A NEW EUROPEAN RENAISSANCE
The Constitution of Innovation
by Luis Garicano, Bengt Holmström & Nicolas Petit · Nov 10, 2025

After World War II, Europe recovered quickly, boosting incomes and productivity while reducing working hours.
From the 1980s onward, growth slowed, unlike the steady U.S. pace.
Three economists argue that excessive bureaucracy and the loss of an innovative mindset weakened Europe.
They call for simpler rules, open markets, and supportive institutions to revive growth and innovation.

USA : ARMED FINANCE

Since finance is grounded in expectations, the Trump Administration’s displays of strength can be read as a form of armed finance: the use of financial leverage and geopolitical power to sustain U.S. credibility despite high debt, constraints on the Fed, and a dollar in gradual erosion.
