"... #Europe has entered a structural crisis with no clean exit. They examine the failed attempt to seize Russian assets, the collapse of sanctions strategy, rising energy costs, and US pressure forcing #deindustrialisation..."

My colleague Raphaël Pernoud just published a report of two wonderful conferences (one of which I was lucky enough to attend) about #deindustrialisation. If you were there, enjoy the nostalgia. If you weren't there, get a glimpse into the events!

One of the best things about working with #history is the connectedness of everything. I'm researching #deindustrialisation, and a text I am reading talks about witch trials in 17th century Germany. Yet, the text still fits my research somehow
More bad news for the economy of Germany this morning.
"WIESBADEN – According to preliminary data from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), real (price-adjusted) production in the manufacturing sector fell by 1.4% in April 2025 compared to March 2025," #deindustrialisation
Within the world’s most advanced economies, there are regions that have fallen behind or failed ever to catch up with the most prosperous places

#Deindustrialisation isnt a symptom of #economic decline, but part of getting richer.
Resurrect #factory work is nonsense when #services are more productive.
#AI accelerates the trend.
Kokomo has lost 15,000 GM jobs over decades. Stellantis is now the town’s economic lifeline, employing ~6,000 locals. Any disruption is massive.

William Huo, Intel's first rep in Beijing: "America got conned by its own elite. And now we've got the privilege of importing our own poverty in shiny containers labeled "Made in China. When a politician promises to bring back American manufacturing with tariffs, ask them: who's going to rebuild the ecosystem Wall Street torched three decades ago? Tariffs won't fix decades of deindustrialization driven by elite consensus. Only massive, consistent investment in R&D, education, and infrastructure ever could. But first we have to say the quiet part out loud: America was deindustrialized not by China or Mexico, but by its own ruling class chasing yield."
#DeIndustrialisation removed all the infrastructure and communities.
You can’t just open the factory gates or keep stoking the blast furnaces.

A few years ago I took some photos of the Black Country, where I grew up. Like the Rust Belt in the US, it fell on hard times as deindustrialisation accelerated.

A competitive industrial policy is key to preventing #deindustrialisation. Ceemet welcomes today's industrial union demonstration in Brussels in support of a strong industrial policy, but we warn that more social regulation goes against that objective.

#German #Deindustrialisation in full swing.
Head of metal workers’ union calls the move ”a declaration of war on the workforce”. Sounds like complicated but not unexpected.
Illustrated portrait of Councilor Andrew Morgan, Leader of Rhondda Cynnon Taf County Borough Council, rendered in digital colour of soft greys and bluis whites.
Reminding us that #deindustrialisation in #Wales is a socioeconomic injustice, Cllr. Andrew Morgan, Leader of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, asks us to imagine how the #innovation opportunities of a #circulareconomy can lead to a just and equitable transformation of local communities.
Or how the German arms industry is driving Europe's #security turn - no #deindustrialisation to see here, Mario? is this the EU we wanted?
