Economic Plan Gaps in the EU
The European Union has consistently been characterized by its economic plans, from the Coal and Steel Community to the introduction of the single currency. However, in recent years, particularly following the sovereign debt crisis and the pandemic, the EU has lacked a coherent economic strategy. This gap in planning has raised concerns among critics, who argue that the foundational economic rationale of the union has been compromised. The return of Mario Draghi to propose a new plan to address these issues reflects a desperate attempt to revive economic direction in the EU.
