Title: Apparently France has all the answers...
Review: We often hear about the progress European countries have made in uniting their economic, legal, and political systems. A sober appraisal of these efforts would be useful. This book does not provide one.There is little discussion of the challenges confronting this audacious experiment, and "Europe" is too often represented as a monolithic and utopian entity. On the rare occasions in which the author deigns to mention criticisms, he frequently dismisses them with the sort of arguments that one feels the French have ready at all times. As it progresses, the book becomes increasingly breathless and fawning in its description of the EU. I found this tiresome and couldn't finish it.
