What lessons do the protests in Europe have for the U.S.?

On the next Your Call we'll talk about the civil unrest across western Europe in response to austerity measures. Fees for public education in the U.K. are going up, retirement pensions in France are being cut, unemployment for Italy's young population is at a record high. So how will these demonstrations, whether violent or peaceful, affect economic policies in Europe? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How does this approach compare with response to the debt crisis in the U.S.? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy and you.

Guests:
Laurie Penny, reporter for New Statesmen

Costas Panayotakis, assistant professor of social science at New York City College of Technology

Eric Reguly, European business correspondent for The Globe and Mail
