The evolution of European public goods

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie
invites Johanna Breuer, Emmanuel Mourlon-Druol and Federico
Fabbrini to delve into the intricate dynamics of European public
goods and how to pay for them. Together, they explore the
historical, legal, and political foundations of joint European
financing—tracing its evolution from the post-WWII period to
recent crises like the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
