The Trouble with Europe: Why the EU Isnt Working - What could take its place - How BREXIT could change Europe: Why the EU isn't Working, How it Can be Reformed, How Brexit Could Change Europe

by RogerBootle (Author), RogerBootle (Author)

Synopsis

The EU needs fundamental reform: it has not delivered the prosperity and growth it promised and the EUs share of world GDP is set to fall sharply. Cut down to size, renationalized, and democratically controlled, the EU could prosper. But there are serious political barriers to this and also real alternatives. Leaving the EU would not be risk-free, but Brexit is a viable option for the UK. With the UK EU referendum approaching, it's time to tackle the trouble with Europe. This new edition includes a major new chapter on the choice facing Britain following the Government's renegotiation.
