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

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.

What Can We Learn from Europe?

On the next Your Call, we explore economic comparisons and contrasts between Europe and the United States. Both the American and European economies were sent reeling during the 2008 crisis. While our government is now busy cutting funding for a wide array of social programs, Europeans are still investing into health care, child care, education, affordable housing, and more. Why such different responses?

Join us live at 11 a.m. or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. What lessons do you think Europe has to offer us?
