Europe faces an uncertain future as globalisation takes hold

Faced with this newly 'joined-up' world, policy makers find themselves
slowly running out of ideas
05 January 2004
Yes, it's the beginning of 2004 and you're probably expecting me to
make some predictions for the year ahead. Sorry to disappoint you but
I've chosen not to. Why? Partly because predictions are less
interesting than risks. Economists are very happy to make boring
predictions all too frequently, deviating by only a tiny amount from
the consensus - but often choose not to think about the risks that
really might upset the applecart. I'll talk about some of these key
risks in more detail next week. Mainly, though, I'm going to avoid
predictions for the year ahead because I received a time machine at
Christmas, which enabled me to write a provisional economic history of
the first decade of the new millennium.
