520 _aThe Battle for Europe brings into sharp focus the historical importance of the current turmoil in the continent. Thomas Fazi explains what has happened in Europe following the financial crash of 2008 as a case of economic shock doctrine, the first time in history that such 'therapy' has been applied to an entire continent. Drawing on a wealth of sources, Fazi argues that the EU's austerity policies shouldn't be viewed simply as a case of political and ideological short-sightedness, but as an attempt by the wealthy elite to remove the last remnants of the welfare state and complete the neoliberal project. As well as offering an urgent critique of the EU and monetary union as currently constituted, The Battle for Europe showcases a programme for progressive reform and argues that the best hopes for the citizens and workers of Europe lies in a radical overhaul of these institutions.
