Una nitida istantanea della situazione politica europea la fornisce Yascha Mounk sulle colonne di Dissent Magazine.
«It is cold comfort that Europe’s Right lacks a grand political vision. Yes, it would be scary if, at a moment when they enjoy unprecedented power, the likes of Merkel and Cameron were determined to reshape the continent. But their lack of ideas is even scarier. The ideological disorientation of the Right—coming as it does on top of the long-standing ideological disorientation of the Left—suggests that all parts of Europe’s political spectrum are unsure how to rescue what they value. A decade from now, Europe is likely to be a continent of less comfort and less solidarity. This won’t be the result of the current political hegemony of the center Right, however. Neither will the willingness of the last wave of center-left governments to enact significant cuts to the welfare state be to blame. On the contrary, the single greatest factor now shaping European economic policy is a lack of political will and imagination».
