I’m joined by returning guest David Adler of the Democracy in Europe Movement to discuss how Europe has risen—or failed to rise—to the challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. David offers his thoughts on the lack of collective action within Europe and what it might mean for the eurozone and the European Union moving forward, as well as some ideas for improving European institutions.David’s Guardian piece (co-authored with Jerome Roos), which we reference in the interview, can be found here. You can also follow him on Twitter. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit fx.substack.com/subscribe
