The speaker analyzes recent crises facing the EU and argues that what dominates in economic processes is not continuity but rather permanent changes, which sometimes take surprising turns and happen in a cascading manner. Professor Kolodko will discuss the challenges of an “Even Greater Crisis” facing the contemporary world and asks if the only way to avoid the EGC is to escape forward through a new pragmatism.
