But the continent is now at its most optimistic for a decade. In this week's cover story, European expert Ivan Krastev explores the roots of such hope. Emmanuel Macron's victory, he writes, was "a reminder of the importance of leadership" and of the winning combination of "talent, ambition and good luck". But the paradox, Krastev writes, is that none of the challenges facing Europe - the Eurozone crisis, the refugee crisis, the Russia-Ukraine conflict - have been resolved. Elsewhere, Tanya Gold reports on the future of the crumbling House of Commons, Felix Martin warns that Donald Trump's economic boom could turn to bust and, to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, novelist Howard Jacobson reflects on the "modern anti-Semite" who "does not smash windows but insinuates himself into our minds". Also this week, Stephen Bush explores the phenomenon of Jordan Peterson and self-help for men, I examine the strange afterlife of Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci and Simon Heffer writes on the growing Tory insurrection against Theresa May. All this, plus Mehdi Hasan on the US's terrifying enforcement agencies, Simon Barnes on why "clean sport" is an impossible dream and AN Wilson on what a new translation of the New Testament can teach us about Christ's communist roots.
