Chapter 2: Shaping a new and progressive economic model based on a fairer economic and social governance
Establishing a new economic model for Europe, based on sustainable and inclusive growth, on increased public and private
investment, and on quality job creation in all sectors of the economy, in public services, public goods and social protection;
reshaping the EU economic governance, the European Semester, the EMU and EU resources to ensure that social justice goes
hand-in-hand with economic competitiveness and that people’s well-being is the objective of economic policies; combating tax
dumping and tax evasion and establishing fairer, more progressive, and better coordinated taxation systems in the EU.
Macroeconomic policy and economic governance
Setting the scene
The macroeconomic context. The economy must serve the people. From this perspective, the
last decade – in the wake of one of the most profound crises in
memory – is a lost decade. More and more Europeans are living
at risk of poverty, while income and wealth inequality are rising,
divergences between Member States have increased and new
economic and social imbalances appeared, but the policies
pursued have not grasped the need to re-orient our economic
model towards more social justice and environmental concerns to
deliver sustainable development and well-being for all.
