Today Europe finds itself in a crisis that casts a shadow over a generation. The gravity of the crisis stems from one of the fundamental political contradictions at the heart of the European project: Precisely, what should be done urgently is also very unpopular, and thus practically impossible to do democratically.

What should be done - almost everyone agrees in principle to actions that may be necessary to deal with the financial crisis - can not be sold to the general electorate of the core Member States, which have so far been less affected by the crisis than those on the parties, The main members imposed on voters in countries with disabilities. Thus, the EU became more divided, with deep divisions between the German-dominated "nucleus" and the "southern" ocean between the winners and losers of the common currency, between the defenders of greater integration and the European stomachs, between technocrats and populists.

Europe is stuck because of the deep divisions that are opening up across the continent, hampering its ability to deal with a crisis that has already caused enormous social suffering in European countries and threatens to disrupt the EU project itself. .

In this short book, Klaus Oveh embodies the central political problem at the heart of the EU and limits his ability to deal with the most serious crisis in his short history.

I want that book.
