PROBLEM: (CNN) -- Suddenly, Europe is talking about growth and not just austerity. The French and the Greeks have followed voters in a series of other European countries in rejecting a pro-austerity government. The Greeks just denied their ruling parties a majority vote in the parliamentary elections, throwing into question the country's commitment to structural and fiscal reform. And the French elected Francois Hollande, who will be France's first Socialist president in 17 years. America has a large stake in European prosperity. Twenty-two percent of U.S. exports are sent to Europe and the two economies are stitched together with cross-border investments, interdependent capital markets and a shared view of global economic governance. Our mutual dependence has grown to the point that when either economy catches cold the other one risks more than a mild sniffle.French and Greeks reject their pro-austerity governments in electionsKent Hughes: America has a large stake in European prosperityHe says that short-term austerity policies do not revive economic growthHughes: Traders will benefit from market volatility, long-term investors will do fine
