Premium Episode: The Silicon Archipelago, The Silicon Archipelago Germany and the Rise of Socialist Nationalism Budget Beatdown, Turning Turk
As Pavel Durov remains in French hands, we’re wondering whether Europe can finally develop its own Silicon Valley simply by mass detention of top entrepreneurial talent.
Or whether perhaps this is the desperate last whelp of a society increasingly bypassed by the global tech economy.
Meanwhile, in Germany, the story of the day is that the AfD have taken a great swath of Thuringia and Saxony, while Sara Wagenknecht has gobbled the rest. This is democracy in action – so can it be stopped?
At the same time, the EU is redefining its central budget. For member states, that 1.2 trillion annual pocket money is no longer free - it will be conditional on economic reforms. We’re about to find out what exactly Slovenia is prepared to do for its slice. Better yet, what will Hungary do?
Finally, as Turkey applies to be the latest BRIC, we’re wondering: is this the point when it’s quicker to build a new acronym from states who aren’t in the club?
As you may have noticed, this week is an extended, four-story gutbuster of an episode.
That’s because it’s Premium Week – and we believe in giving our Patreons a little extra on the side. And round the back.
