Europe’s Fake Normal – Project Syndicate
Mohamed El-Erian : This summer’s sense of economic normality in Europe is neither natural nor necessarily tenable in the long term, because it reflects temporary and potentially reversible factors.

We spoke recently on his trip to Washington; this transcript has been edited for length and clarity.
