“(..) In the global battle between democracy and oligarchy, one can only hope that Europeans will emerge from their lethargy and play their full role. Europe invented the welfare state and the social-democratic revolution in the 20th century, and it stands to lose the most from Trumpist hypercapitalism. Here again, there is reason for optimism: since the Covid-19 pandemic, the public expects a lot from the European Union and is less hesitant than its leaders. One can only hope that these leaders will rise to the occasion and, by 2025, manage to overcome the mutual distrust and perpetual self-criticism that has held them back. (..)”.
Se entendi direito, Piketty considera 'o público' europeu menos hesitante que seus líderes, mas ‘can only hope’ que… esses líderes se coloquem à altura da ocasião!!!??? Francamente…
E se não se colocarem - o que é abolutamente provável?
