Why The European Union Will Fail: Q&A with Austrian Economist Barbara Kolm

"The European Union as we know it will not exist in 10 years, believe me," says Barbara Kolm, president of the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna, Austria.
While countries like Sweden have instituted successful reforms, according the Kolm, the high taxation, powerful unions, and bloated bureaucracies in most European countries will lead to the collapse of the EU's economy. Kolm's advice to policy makers in the US? "Don't become Europe."
Kolm stopped by Reason's LA studio to talk about the economic situation in Europe, the fate of the Euro, and why America should not look to the Old World for financial advice.
Approximately 6 minutes.

    I guess because history, since the beginning of the continent's history, all regions always had that bad habit of trying to kill each other for resources all the time (land but most important people to put into physical labor), some people tried making nations some kind of "family" by fixed marriages, but that didn't work very well, since the last big war, the WW2 a few people with big power thought of ways to avoid another world war and they thought to do it with money and trade, modern capitalism and globalization are devices made to make more difficult for all countries involved not invested in war and conflicts, that is why China do not engage with military offensive with their big customers (except Taiwan, for other reasons), globalization and free market capitalism was meant to bring world peace keeping each country depending on others, but it brought more instability and more corruption, wars for resources are still around in front of us, more brutal, more horrible and more criminal, but until now it was only in nations nobody cared about, except when their people seek asylum and ultra corrupt and lazy politicians use them as tools for elections.

If the schools are forcing a curriculum that the parents do not approve of - the schools will put the pressure on the decision makers to change it.

    @@kristianchristensen2254 Actually being a Net contributor is still far cheaper than the alternative, as the free trade and freedom of movement within the EU allow for added economic growth and therefore compensates the high contribution Payments. Denmark is actually benefitting from the EU in many ways. being a relatively small country dependent on free trade, fishing in foreign territory, limited international influence due to it's size etc. The Danish Kroner is basically pegged to the Euro, which Is also highly beneficial for Eurozone trade. Anyway, Denmark is also a net contributer to Greenland and Faroe Islands, which is where Denmark actually loses it's taxpayers money. It is clear that those payments are never recouped, at least not in monetary terms. Now I definitely believe that payments to Greenland and Faroe Islands are worth it as they would otherwise need to increase their revenue from oil extraction and other resource-depleting activities. In addition, the EU is a project of peace, solidarity, cooperation and cross,-cultural understanding in addition to being an Economic and Political free trade project. Even if Denmark doesn't gain that much economically from the project (although actually it does increase economic growth significantly) it still receives the many benefits at no cost. For example it is possible to study in other EU member states at essentially no additional cost, Schengen allows easy travel between member states and the "closeness" and "interdependence" of the member states essentially rules out war on the European continent.

    The only mistake she made was putting a timeline on its inevitable collapse but the points she made are as valid today as when this short piece was put together. The European Union has essentially failed so the only question that remains is when and how it will disintegrate. Given the whole project is now driven by little more than inertia as opposed to economic or democratic expediency then the only question that remains to be addressed is how long the European elite can drag the whole thing out. Since any breakup is going to be very painful my prediction is the eventual coup de grace will come as a result of some sort of cataclysmic external events as we witnessed in 2008

    It didn't cause the crisis in the EU. It didn't help at all obviously but the EU is in trouble because the interest rate at which countries like Greece and Portugal could borrow money went from 18% to 3% overnight when the Euro was formed. Literally overnight. They then borrowed more money, as they could now do so even though nothing in their country changed. They went from 18% to 3% as Germany now essentially guaranteed repayments. The trouble is, Germany only has so much money (and patience, I imagine) and now were at a stage where German politicians tell Greek politicians what austerity measures to take and what cuts to make etc. Its a sticky situation and both countries have a genuine right to be annoyed at the other, as neither peoples got a say on any of it. So while Lehman Brothers and RBS royally screwed everyone in the USA and UK out of £100's of £Billions, and caused the collapse of a few other companies and markets, they didn't cause this rift between North and South Europe. the Euro is the problem and its members states attitudes of keeping it at all costs.

    james peers Isn't that exactly the point though? These huge loans are taken out from the IMF of which the people are expected to pay interests, yet the people never see a cent of these loans which go to benefit the elites. This is exactly what went down in the US when we bailed out the banks. We're now seeing the exact same thing in Ukraine, whose government has been overthrown and co-opted by US/EU overlords. They're now taking out huge loans which they'll never be able to repay and the Ukrainian people will be indebted to the banksters for life.

    Jack Matheson Yeah, your right when you say the system is the same, totally. My point was that the EU crisis could have been avoided even if the financial crash in the USA and UK had happened. If Greece hadn't been allowed to borrow money at 3% interest then they would of been able to afford repayments when the time came. The financial crash is the reason debts got called in but how much would Greece of owed if it had kept its 18% interest rate, I wonder? A lot less I imagine. But yeah, same terrible system, I don't know why I argued lol

    Jack Matheson: she is technical right about stating that the US has a great model in place. But you fail and she fails to realize that humans are greedy and can be bought for the right price. I probably could give you a billion dollars to wack your whole family and you would think about doing it. Or some offers you a job where they give millions of tax free money straight into your account, all you have to do to sign a bill and make sure it get passed into law. Money is the issue. It will be a forever issue with humans. Valuing money rather than valuing knowledge is our greatest flaw.

    As to fascism, that is also a form of socialism, despite what you have been taught. Only the state leaves property NOMINALLY in the hands of private owners, and simply takes control of the private owners, telling them what to do with their property. Ownership of property means you have the right to keep, use, and dispose of property, excluding others from use of it. But under fascism, the government is not excluded, and decides how property is used, acting as the de-facto owner.

As I understand it as a precondition for the Federal education dollars they had to accept the curriculum. Also it wouldn't matter if the teachers themselves objected. Once it's in place it sticks. Even if it doesn't (long term,) a whole generation is lost in the meat grinder.

    Nasi rządzący nie mają na tyle jaj i kompetencji, żeby zrobić co trzeba zrobić, aby Polska jako suwerenny kraj się rozwijała bez Unii. Być może sam nie masz takiej wiedzy, dlatego Unia jawi Ci się jako coś pięknego. A wystarczyłoby znieść regulacje i obniżyć maksymalnie podatki. Kasa państwa napełniłaby się bardziej niż teraz, bo ludzie przestali by kombinować jak uniknąć podatków, a przedsiębiorczość by się rozwinęła. Czy naprawdę nie widzisz innego wyjścia poza byciem pijawką zachodu? Być może Unia się nie rozpadnie wkrótce, bo ewentualnie na pewno. To nie mówi o jej konieczności, a o mentalności ludzi.

    Misleading title, she said the EU as we know it now will not exist in ten years, this is obvious to anyone following the massive reforms taking place in the EU. People want to know if the EU will exist at all, which of course, no individual can say with absolute precision. She also sidestepped the issue of how monetary union is destructive without fiscal union. Which is a much, much, much bigger factor than labour reforms which are only a subset of social policy reform which is only a subset of state policy and so on and on. While the video does provide perspective, she's pointing at ants and missing the elephant in room, there's no talk of export/import lines, trade imbalances, or lack of institutional stabilization mechanisms since the EU is a hodgepodge of governing bodies that lacks the heft or polish of a comparable state coherent government.

She behaves as if she was in primary school and herd something bad about EU and without checking information she blandly repits it. And Greases crisis is there own fault not EU’s. In fact EU saved Grease from economical collapse.

    If you look at the countries that have thrived the past decade, it's the smaller more nimble nations like Iceland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand that have the ability to change quickly. Australia passed a carbon tax and then quickly cancelled it. That would never happen in a huge beauracracy like the US. Smaller is better. Forget these huge "unions". They don't work.
