Europe will be “forged in crises,” said Jean Monnet, a founding father of what became the European Union.
These two competing narratives frame a central debate about the EU’s future.
Bruegel, a Brussels think tank, caricatures them as 1) the bloc is being “hardened by adversity,” leading to perpetual integration, versus 2) the “sky is falling” for the EU, which causes its disintegration.
Does that mean the EU is fated to enter the fossil record, as many species have done before?
Not necessarily, but possibly.
Evolution is not about improvement toward some noble ideal but about adapting to reality.
