Stuart Eizenstadt and Caio Koch-Weser correctly argue that it’s time for “a renaissance of joint economic and political leadership by the U.S. and the EU and its members” at tomorrow’s G20 Summit. As I argue in my New Atlanticist post “Transatlantic Clash at G-20,” we won’t, however, be getting it.
The main clash is over the European drive — led by Germany, naturally — to tighten spending to get their fiscal house in order and the Obama administration’s insistence on Keynesian stimulus.
