The French Riots: Europe on the Brink? | David Woo

What is the root cause of the French riots? Surely it is not the Nahel shooting? There is a far more complex story than one of French police racism. Do you know what is the difference in standard living between French descents of immigrants from Maghreb and their parents? Do you know how the Arab Spring influenced the outcome of the Brexit vote and the unintended consequences of the British decision not to intervene in the Syrian civil war? Do you know why eastern Libya has become the most popular jumping off point for refugees and migrants to reach Europe? Did you know that 59% of Syrian refugees in Europe are in Germany? Did you know that Africa will add a billion people in less than 30 years? Did you know that climate change has affected Africa more than any other regions in the world? Do you know that the French riots have propelled Marine Le Pen and Germany ADf in the polls? What will Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz do to save the European Union before the next general elections in France and Germany? David Woo, a former IMF economist and Wall Street investment strategist, tells it as it is. You may not agree with everything he says but he will make you reassess everything you thought you knew.
