Has the EU fostered more or less economic freedom in the Old Continent? This book explores the intellectual and political genesis of the European Union, focusing especially on its relationship to classical liberalism. It explains how the new enthusiasm for liberalization associated with Reagan and Thatcher helped revive the European project in the 1980s, while providing some insights on the current challenges Europe is facing as a result of the financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. The contributors highlight the role of liberal, pro-market ideas played in shaping the EU, the single market and the euro, and how these should be coming into play again if the European project is to be reanimated. This volume originates from a conference the Italian think tank Istituto Bruno Leoni hosted in 2019 and is dedicated to Alberto Giovannini (1955-2019). Giovannini was an influential macroeconomist and financial economist. His vast legacy of studies and ideas prompted this book in his honor, on the occasion of his untimely passing away. . 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aEconomics 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPublic Economics 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aPolitical Theory 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPublic Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 676 $a320.51094 676 $a320.51094 702 $aLefebvre D'Ovidio$b Francesco 702 $aGiavazzi$b Francesco 702 $aMingardi$b Alberto 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483949503321 996 $aThe liberal heart of Europe$92475188 997 $aUNINA
