Europe against the coronavirus
By: Jean-François Cadet Follow
"Europe, predicted Jean Monnet, will happen in crises and it will be the sum of the solutions brought to these crises". Was Jean Monnet right? Has the EU taken stock of the crisis? Is European solidarity there or is it showing its limits?

How to help European companies survive and revive their activity? How to deal with the explosion of public debt, while providing the means to put coal back into the machine? Is the use of the European Stability Mechanism necessary and sufficient, or should we go further by developing the Corona Bonds, and by implementing a real European recovery plan? What impact on prices, taxes, shareholder dividends, on industrial policy?
To discuss it, three guests: Aurore Lalucq , MEP (Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats), and economist, co-founder of the Véblen Institute; the economist Agnès Bénassy-Quéré , professor at the Paris School of Economics and at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. And Alban Maggiar , president of SMEUnited, the European Association of Handicrafts, Small and Medium Enterprises.
