A report of the contributors of the Ambrosetti forum of industrialists, economists and policymakers in Italy, 4-6 September 2009 discussing issues relating to the global economic crisis from a European perspective.

Some speakers worried that talk of state interventionism from politicians risked compounding the weaknesses that many European economies had exhibited over the past decade. Strategic partnerships between government and big business will reinforce European corporatism, which many economists blame for stifling the growth of more dynamic small- and medium-sized enterprises. They may also jeopardise the European single market as governments seek to defend national champions.
