The round table “Key Issues on the Economic Crisis: Is This a Global Crisis?” has ended the second day of the Economics course of the 2012 FAES Campus. The speakers invited to this table have been the deputy Minister of Trade and member of FAES’ Board of Trustees, Jaime García-Legaz; the executive director of the Instituto de Estudios Económicos, Joaquín Trigo; the deputy secretary-general for Economic Labour and International Affairs of the CEOE, Alberto Nadal; and the Prince of Asturias for Social Sciences Laureate and member of FAES’ Board of Trustees, Juan Velarde.
Europe is in the throes of two simultaneous crises: on the one hand, it is suffering from a political crisis, a crisis of leadership, one that has led to constitutional failure; on the other, it is suffering from a loss of identity, a phenomenon that results in cultural relativism. Marcello Pera, Speaker of the Italian Senate and Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Pisa, delivered a conference entitled “Strength of Identity” during the course of the FAES Campus 2005, a paper which the FAES Foundation is now publishing. Also known as the co-author of the book Senza Radici (“Without Roots”) alongside Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), Professor Pera urges European culture to proudly recall and reaffirm its origins and its universal democratic principles: freedom, equality and tolerance. In this respect, Europe must recognise the intrinsic value of a civilisation, Western civilisation, that has given the world so many universal ideas. “Europe must be aware of the moral superiority of a series of values that have prevailed over centuries and that have produced beneficial results wherever they have become established”.
