European Competitiveness: Why Free Markets, Less Regulation, and Economic Freedom Matter

Описание: “Europe needs simpler and more predictable rules, reasonable tax rates, and the freedom to innovate if we want to achieve lasting economic prosperity.”

— Adam Bartha

In an exclusive interview, EPHI representative Adam Schlüssler sits down with Adam Bartha to discuss European competitiveness, economic freedom, and the reforms needed to secure Europe’s economic future.

The conversation explores the challenges of authoritarian populism, the rule of law, and the risks of excessive political intervention in the economy. Adam Bartha explains how high taxes, overregulation, and top-down economic policies can undermine innovation, productivity, and long-term growth.

A key focus of the interview is what Europe can learn from countries such as Poland and Estonia, particularly their approaches to taxation, regulation, and economic liberalisation. The discussion also examines how economic stagnation in major European economies can affect living standards, public trust, and the future of liberal democracy.

Looking ahead, Adam Bartha highlights the importance of empowering the private sector, embracing technological innovation, and implementing market-oriented reforms to strengthen Europe's competitiveness and create greater prosperity for its citizens.

EPHI's Brussels representative
