Europe's Real Crisis: Economic Decline, Not "Woke" Policies

A new U.S. national security strategy warns that immigration and so-called "woke" policies threaten Europe's future. It suggests they could lead to a "civilisational erasure." This assessment is a fundamental misreading of Europe's problems, according to economist Nouriel Roubini. The real existential threat to Europe is economic and technological decline, not cultural politics. For example, the share of foreign-born residents in the U.S. is actually slightly higher than in Europe. The continent's challenges stem from falling behind in key economic sectors and innovation, not from immigration.
