This week Guy Foster, Head of Research, talks to Alex White of the Economist Intelligence Unit in the first of two podcasts on the subject of the Europe. This edition looks at the most integrated iteration of Europe, that of the Eurozone. In the week in which Austria came close to electing a President from the far-right Freedom Party, we ask why Europeans are rejecting their establishment politicians? To what extent are extremist or radical parties going to find themselves running our countries and what broader impact will they have?
