Luis Garicano on Why Europe Fell Behind

Yascha Mounk and Luis Garicano examine why Europe missed the tech revolution—and how it might catch up.

Luis Garicano is Professor of Public Policy at the London School of Economics and a co-founder of The Rhine Group.

In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Luis Garicano discuss why Europe has failed to produce world-leading technology companies, whether labor market rigidities and a fragmented single market explain Europe’s innovation deficit, and how much culture versus institutions are to blame for European risk aversion.
