Summary/Abstract: The European Union is often criticised for insufficient innovativeness, low productivity in comparison with the United States, and a limited capacity to respond to new challenges and crises. At the same time, the EU continues to provide its citizens with a high level of social development and quality of life that remains largely beyond the reach of the inhabitants of China or even the United States. It is therefore worth asking whether the EU will be able to reconcile the pursuit of greater competitiveness with the preservation of its current prosperity and social safeguards.
