And what policies will it take?
No. Southern Europe is culturally unfit to achieve parity with the North, full stop.
Eastern Europe is culturally divergent as well, albeit less so, but is additionally hampered by having had its economy artificially restrained for half a century.

But Greece and Southern Italy were to cradles of Western Civilization. How can they be "culturally unfit".

Yeah, but if the grow at rates much higher than Western Europe, they can converge. And economic theory says it should, given said artificial restraint on their economies.

Probably never.
History repeats itself and never in history was the east richer than the west.

Dunno man when I read about some of them Polish magnates that had private armies larger than the Commonwealth's(a country that never really wasn't at war in it's whole history also had the biggest population in europe untill partitions) I think there was a point when it was richer.
I really wish. I'd love to see the day when whole Europe (Russia included) is prosperous, competitive and happy.

Right now most weaker countries are chained by unsustainable debt, brain drain and the wierd EU "fair play" practices (that promote regional monopolies for some reason).
prosperity is not going to happen anytime soon for people like us, at least through dignified means.
