The investment plan proposed by the European Commission has unleashed quite a torrent of comment, criticism, and discussion. At the wave of a magic wand, a cash injection, pretty much recycled from the European budget, drops out of the hat together with a vague sort of promise that the funding in question will grow and multiply. But is it the technical details of the plan that really matter most? Might the political factors perhaps be more important?
