Once the envy of the world, Europe is now watching its economic lead evaporate in real time.
In this clear-eyed documentary, Front Page breaks down how a continent of 450+ million people went from powerhouse to laggard — not because of bad luck, but because of a long series of self-inflicted policy choices: disastrous energy decisions, suffocating regulation, demographic collapse, and political fragmentation that prevents real solutions. While the U.S. has surged ahead with energy abundance, technological dominance, and dynamic capital markets, much of Europe has chosen comfort, precaution, and redistribution over growth and competitiveness. The result? A widening GDP gap that now exceeds $10 trillion — and shows no signs of closing.
Is this decline reversible, or has Europe entered a slow, managed decline?
