Brexit : an opportunity ? rethinking europe (Broché)

A shocking book, far from the usual banalities on Europe. Written on the back of Brexit, it goes well beyond the referendum of 23 June 2016. Because Europe is sick. Sick at its powerlessness and mediocracy, sick at the new challenges that assail it, sick at the slow disaffection of the people it has ignored. Sick at its ambiguity in the aim of the European project. Three differing views, positive but without any concession.
How did we get here? That of Nicole Fontaine, who presided over the European Parliament and has had an exalted career for almost a quarter of a century. That of François Poulet-Mathis, a radio and television journalist who has spent his whole career observing European institutions. And those of students of the oldest business school in the world, the international incubator of tomorrow's top economists.
If it does not react, Europe is currently threatened by a dislocation that could see it only reduced to a single market place. It needs to be rethought. The way is open, and it's not too late.
