Economic policy wrapped up 2022

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine changed the course of the year 2022.
In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro
invites Maria Demertzis, André Sapir and Jeromin Zettelmeyer to
unfold the impact of the war, energy crisis and inflation,
European responses to these incidents, continued confrontations
on the global stage and their implications on the world.

Following Bruegel’s end-of-year tradition, the guests also each
introduce a book, movie or TV series that resonated with them in
2022.
