The Future of European Competitiveness
The Draghi report is not a book in the literary sense, but it belongs on this shelf because it frames a central strategic problem: Europe risks losing industrial, technological, and geopolitical capacity if it cannot coordinate investment and execution.
Why I Liked It
I liked it because it is concrete about constraints. It treats competitiveness as an operational problem, not only a political slogan.
Key Points
- Europe needs more investment in productivity, energy, defense, and technology.
- Fragmentation makes execution slower and more expensive.
- Regulation and financing must be aligned with industrial goals.
- Competitiveness is not only about companies; it is also about infrastructure and state capacity.
What I Keep
The useful question is: what must Europe become capable of doing, not just declaring?
