Riassunto

'This is a credible plan for life outside Europe and deserves to be widely read' The Week - Business Books of the Year

FULLY REVISED EDITION FOR THE 2016 UK EU REFERENDUM

The EU hasn't delivered the prosperity and growth it promised; the euro has turned out to be a disaster; and the EU's share of world GDP is set to fall sharply.

Moreover, no one is clear what the EU is for, or how 'ever closer union' can be matched with expanding borders and huge disparities of income and culture. The EU is the most important thing that stands between Europe and success.

Outside the EU, the UK could thrive, shorn of the EU's regulatory burden and free to develop close trading links with everyone - a truly global Britain. Moreover, BREXIT could provide the spur for the EU either to reform or break up. The UK can lead the way to a better Europe.

This updated and expanded Third edition of Roger Bootle's critically acclaimed book includes further material on European reform, mass migration and a major new chapter on the UK referendum and its consequences.

Dalla quarta di copertina

FULLY REVISED EDITION FOR THE 2016 UK EU REFERENDUM Designed by its founders to pursue ever closer union the EU has reached fundamental decision point. While its elites still press for greater integration, support for the project among its citizenry is dwindling fast.
A noble dream born in the shadow of a terrible war, conceived in a world of powerful blocs dominated by the United States and the USSR, the European Union has become hopelessly ill equipped for an era of globalisation and emerging markets. In its current form it is nothing less than the greatest obstacle between Europe and success. What's more, if nothing changes, its share of world GDP will drop sharply and its influence will be greatly diminished.
This book is written especially for all fair-minded people across Europe who have previously been presented only with a choice of extremist ravings or wads of impenetrable Euro-speak. To all those who may be called upon to contribute to a decision about Europe's future, or their country's part in it, Roger Bootle offers a fluent, readable and even-handed analysis of the options of how Europe could better serve its people.
