Most of it describes. This diagnoses. Each issue takes one structural question — about fiscal constraints, demographic mechanics, political incentives, or capital markets — and follows it to an explicit verdict. No hedging, no open questions left dangling. Written for readers outside Europe who want to understand not what European leaders say, but what the incentives are, what the numbers show, and where this ends. Published biweekly.]]></description><link>https://www.continentaldrift.eu/s/the-drift</link><image><url>https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!jHL-!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F203f6066-775b-499e-9160-db32731222a5_768x768.png</url><title>Continental Drift: The Drift</title><link>https://www.continentaldrift.eu/s/the-drift</link></image><generator>Substack</generator><lastBuildDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2026 16:47:15 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://www.continentaldrift.eu/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><copyright><![CDATA[Ralf Billstein]]></copyright><language><![CDATA[en]]></language><webMaster><![CDATA[continentaldrifts@substack.com]]></webMaster><itunes:owner><itunes:email><![CDATA[continentaldrifts@substack.com]]></itunes:email><itunes:name><![CDATA[Ralf Billstein]]></itunes:name></itunes:owner><itunes:author><![CDATA[Ralf Billstein]]></itunes:author><googleplay:owner><![CDATA[continentaldrifts@substack.com]]></googleplay:owner><googleplay:email><![CDATA[continentaldrifts@substack.com]]></googleplay:email><googleplay:author><![CDATA[Ralf Billstein]]></googleplay:author><itunes:block><![CDATA[Yes]]></itunes:block></channel></rss>
