Leitlinien für ein dauerhaftes Wachstum in der EU? Konzept und Wirkung der Grundzüge der Wirtschaftspolitik

The Broad Economic Policy Guidelines contain the answers of the European Com-mission and the EU-governments to the growth and employment problems in the EU. These guidelines have been the EU-economic policy concept for ten years now, but this concept has not been able to generate sustained growth in the EU. Examining the guidelines we show the weaknesses of the economic policy model behind it and outline an alternative concept which promises more growth for Europe in the long run.
