    SOMMET DES réformistes européens European Reformists SUMMIT 2019 the democratic challenge in Europe 16 & 17 November 2018 – Draft programme European Reformists SUMMIT The European Reformists Summit entitled “2019, the Democratic Challenge in Europe“ will be held on the 16th & 17th of November 2018. This event is co-organised by the progressive think tanks Les Gracques, Terra Nova, Mouvement Européen France, Fondation pour l’innovation politique and Fondation Jean-Jaurès, in partnership with several European think tanks. It aims at gathering high-ranking international leaders in order to discuss the most pressing political, economic and social issues ahead of the crucial European elections. The Summit builds on the European Reformists Summit held in Lyon in 2016 and hosted by its Mayor, Gérard Collomb. Just after Brexit and at the dawn of several electoral challenges all over Europe, we were convinced of the urgent need to make all pro-European reformists of good will stick together. Two years later, after a gathering in Berlin last year, as fragmentation risks remain and populism keeps on rising, it is high time to gather around a European Reformists Summit in Paris in preparation for the coming European elections. French and international political leaders, mayors of major cities, representatives of unions and civil society, economists and business leaders will meet to debate in private sessions. The results of the discussions will be presented to the media and the public during the conclusive part of the event, on Saturday 17 November afternoon. Our partners all around Europe have already assured us of their support to help us get the best out of this event in terms of original ideas, propositions and commitments.

  • The Ideas of Economists and Political Philosophers, Both When They Are Right and When They Are Wrong, Are More Powerful Than Is Commonly Understood
    The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back. J. M. Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (chapter 24, §V). The evolution of the international monetary and financial system: Were French views determinant? Alain Alcouffe (University of Toulouse) alain.alcouffe@ut‐capitole.fr Fanny Coulomb (IEP Grenoble) Anthony M. Endres in his 2005 book, has stressed the part player by some economists in the design of the international monetary system during the Bretton Woods era. He proposed a classification of their doctrines and proposals in a table where fifteen economists are mentioned for ten proposals (Hansen, Williams , Graham, Triffin, Simons, Friedman/Johnson, Mises/Rueff/ Heilperin/Hayek/Röpke, Harrod, Mundell). Among them only one French economist, Jacques Rueff, is to be found but he did not stand alone but merged with those of other « paleo‐liberals ». At the opposite, in his 2007 book, Rawi Abdelal pointed the predominant part played by French citizens in the evolution of the international monetary system during the last decades, especially during the building up of the euro area and the liberalization of the capital movements. The article outlines the key stages in the evolution of the international monetary system and the part played by French actors in the forefront of the scene (Jacques Delors – European commission, Pascal Lamy, WTO) or in the wings (Chavranski, OECD).
