How far should redistribution go? Who should pay for it and how?...Should insolvent banks be bailed-out? Is it better to tax individuals when they consume or as soon as they earn their income?...
This yearbook tells the story of what happened in 2011 in twenty European countries.
Reading those reports gives a sense of how diverse are the answers provided to the above questions in different countries.

Open your eyes to the diversity of European countries…and you will see that Europe needs more freedom and responsibility, not further centralization.
