Reflections of an ‘ultra-liberal’ on Europe’s next social model

In Europe’s increasingly bitter debate on the social model, “failing politicians, dying economic interests and demagogic anti-globalisation groups have twisted the truth to suit their short-term political interests”, says The Lisbon Council’s Paul Hofheinz. He argues that it is the social market that urgently needs to be strengthened, not the social benefit system. There is also a reaction to the article by Bernhard Ebbinghaus.
