Understanding Unequal Europe: Why Economies Grow at Different Speeds

The monograph by Dr. Andrzej Paczoski, Uwarunkowania zróżnicowań gospodarczych w państwach Unii Europejskiej (Determinants of Economic Disparities in the European Union Member States), is a comprehensive study devoted to analyzing the causes and mechanisms behind differences in the level of economic development among EU countries. Drawing on indicators such as GDP per capita, employment, exports, labor productivity, innovation, and R&D expenditures, the author combines quantitative methods with a qualitative approach to provide an in-depth explanation of the complex sources of economic inequality. The publication also takes into account non-economic factors - historical, cultural, religious, and legal - that significantly influence the formation of economic structures across nations. Through its multidisciplinary perspective, this work makes a valuable contribution to the study of economic disparities in Europe, offering both academic and practical insights into the contemporary challenges of economic integration.
