After the Fall: The End of the European Dream andthe Decline of a Continent. By Walter Laqueur.
《衰落之后》:关于欧洲梦的终结和欧洲大陆的衰落, 作者:瓦特拉克尔。
A distinguished European historian who now livesand works in America, Walter Laqueur has turnedinto a leading prophet of European decline. Hisnew book, After the Fall, stands as a summary of many pet themes: that the EuropeanUnion has a weak economy with too lavish a welfare state and little capacity for reform, ashrinking population and, worst of all, too many Muslim immigrants.
瓦特拉克尔是一位杰出的欧洲历史学家,现居于美国,他已经成为欧洲衰落的主要预言者。他的新作《衰落之后》总结了许多目前备受关注的主题:欧盟的经济陷入虚弱状态,主要原因是太慷慨的福利状况、太少的改革能力,不断缩小的人口,以及最糟糕的是,太多的穆斯林移民。
Mr Laqueur makes many telling points. The euro crisis has laid bare many of the continent s economic ills. It has confirmed theinsouciance of Mediterranean countries, in particular, over the urgent need to improve theircompetitiveness. Europe s demographic outlook is worrying, with an ageing populationdependent on a shrinking workforcea picture that gets worse as one moves eastward. Andno European country has been a shining success at assimilating immigrants, especially from Muslim countries.
