Vaclav Klaus is President of the Czech Republic. He hit the headlines most recently by refusing, like David Cameron, to sign up to the deal to bail out the Greek Government. In this new book, President Klaus examines the uneasy Europe of today, without illusions or personal attacks, but with a mercilessly realistic view of the system that Europe has created in the last half century. He examines the benefits of integrating the continent in strictly economic terms and explains the tragic flaw in the original plan to do so. They feared the consequences of nationalism and wanted to work for transcontinental unity. Klaus argues that the present situation is unstable and unsustainable. The President proposes a transformation of both the socio-economic system and the integration model of European unity, turning back to the market economy and a more realistic cooperation between European states.

Whether or not you consider you agree with the thoughts of Czech President Vaclav Klaus, you will find this a very readable book. Vaclav Klaus makes his own analysis of the development of the European Union and you will find your own thoughts on the current state of affairs in Europe enhanced by testing them against those of Mr. Klaus. Thank you Mr Klaus for taking the time to write this topical book.

This proves beyond any doubt that the UK is falling into a federal trap where countries as we know them now will not exist in the distant future. We will all be in regions with new names.

Supports my already held opinions with evidence and inside information. What is being done to make the case more widely and swing the direction of travel away from the inevitable soviet style outcome otherwise?
