Join us for a lively evening as we toast the release of Reason’s new issue and dig into Sam Bowman’s cover story exploring why Europe’s gorgeous cities and enviable vacations hide a serious economic stagnation problem.
From rigid labor laws to sky-high energy prices, from tech regulation to trade barriers—Europe’s malaise is (mostly) self-inflicted. Our panel of sharp thinkers will explore why and what it means for the rest of the world.
Panelists:
- Ben Dreyfuss – Writer, provocateur, and professional opinion-haver
- Billy Binion – Reason Reporter
- Guy Bentley – Reason Foundation’s Director of Consumer Freedom and resident Brit
- Moderated by: Katherine Mangu-Ward, Reason’s Editor in Chief
