The Global Economy in 2030: Trends and Strategies for Europe

by Daniel Gros and Cinzia Alcidi

Long-standing economic trends that were disrupted by the global financial crisis can no longer be counted on as a reliable guide for understanding and charting the future. To provide a more accurate analysis of the likely course of worldwide financial developments, this volume concentrates on a set of critical economic factors and offers a description of the possible evolution of their reach and scope. The Global Economy in 2030 is the result of a collaborative effort of CEPS, the Centre International de Recherches et d'Etudes Mon?taires, the Institute of Studies for the Integration of Systems, and Soci?t? Europ?enne d'Economie.
