Even though some EU mem­ber sta­tes expe­ri­ence eco­no­mic reco­very, the EU is still in a deep struc­tu­ral cri­sis. Rising eco­no­mic ine­qua­li­ties wit­hin and bet­ween the EU mem­ber sta­tes jeo­par­di­ze EU inte­gra­ti­on par­ti­cu­lar­ly in the Euro­zo­ne area. The shift from labor inco­mes to capi­tal inco­mes wit­hin the last deca­des ham­pe­red demand and resul­ted in low invest­ment and growth. Aus­teri­ty mea­su­res fos­te­r­ed by the EU put fur­ther pres­su­re on wel­fa­re sta­tes and worsened the situa­ti­on of tho­se hit har­dest by the crisis.

Against this back­ground right-wing popu­list par­ties gai­ned signi­fi­can­ce and incre­a­sed their influ­ence. With Bri­tain lea­ving the EU inte­gra­ti­on-cri­sis reached a new low and rai­sed con­cerns that Bre­x­it could act as a role model for other coun­tries. But what are the con­se­quen­ces of the Bre­x­it for peop­le working in the UK? Does it incre­a­se the space for alter­na­ti­ve eco­no­mic poli­ci­es? What are the flaws in the EU eco­no­mic poli­ci­es? What alter­na­ti­ves are exis­ting and are they fea­si­ble on a Euro­pean scale?
