About this episode

Leszek Jazdzewski discusses European geopolitical issues and economic competitiveness with Jacob Funk Kirkegaard.

His research focuses on European economies, foreign direct investment, geopolitical trends, demographics, migration, and other long-term drivers of productivity and economic growth.
