Europe is entirely dependent on American tech. From chips and subsea cables to cloud services and social media, almost all are sourced from U.S.-based companies. This makes us incredibly vulnerable to their whims – or the whims of an insane White House…
On the show today, Aaron talks to famed economist Cristina Caffarra about her ambition to free Europe from this dependence. They discuss:
* Why the EU failed to regulate American tech
* What actions are necessary to build a “Eurostack”
* How to empower European tech companies without stifling competition
They also talk about the return of politics to economics, and why the antitrust movement in America is more sophisticated than its European counterpart.
