Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission, tackles
these and other questions in this important new book. It offers
both a political vision and a personal statement by one of the most
important political figures in Europe today.
Central to Prodi's vision of Europe - what it can and should be
- are the ideals of the European Union's founding fathers:
Adenauer, De Gasperi, Monnet, Schuman. Their goal was a peaceful
democratic Europe in which all the peoples of our continent could
live together in security, freedom, justice and equality. The path
towards that goal, argues Prodi, is inextricably bound up with
economics. As the EU's Member States voluntarily pool their
national sovereignty, especially monetary sovereignty, that dream -
that vision of Europe - is gradually coming true.
This book will be of great interest to anyone concerned with Europe and its future.
