We kindly invite you to the book launch of “Lessons from Europe. 22 Essays on the Future of Our Continent”.
Thomas Wieser and Johanna Mair have gathered an array of the most renowned experts, thinkers, writers, journalists and leaders to share their thoughts and experiences on how the last 35 years have shaped Europe. Because economic data can never tell the full story, this book is an attempt to go deeper and grasp the complex societal and political developments that are a consequence of European integration and will continue to have an impact on the region’s future.
Despite the success of the European Union’s enlargement, there is still a noticeable divide between the East and the West. The book tries to bridge this gap.
Celebrating it’s launch on 4th November, we are kindly inviting you to join a high-level discussion on:
„Yesterday’s hopes, today‘s reality: What all of Europe can learn from Eastern Europe”
With:
- Philipp Blom – historian and author
- Johanna Mair – Hertie School, Stanford University
- Thomas Wieser – economist, former head of Eurogroup working group
