Steven Hill ends the transatlantic debate over which economic and political system is superior: Europe wins. While America and China fight for oil and minerals, Europe already achieves more with less. Indeed, the path to the American Dream is the European Way."--Parag Khanna, author of The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order "Like a reverse Alexis de Tocqueville, Steven Hill dauntlessly explores a society largely unknown to his compatriots back home. Sweeping away the ideological posturing, he shows us exactly how the modern European Way works and the promise it holds for an America which has slipped to become, in terms of social, economic and energy policy, the Old World."--Hendrik Hertzberg, senior editor, The New Yorker, author of Obamanos!: The Birth of a New Political Era "Europe's Promise should startle, inform, and galvanize Americans in raising the ante in favor of a political economy where people matter first."--Ralph Nader "As Steven Hill compellingly argues in his excellent Europe's Promise: Why the European Way Is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age, Europe has become a dynamic, transformational force in the world and stands as a clear model of success on so many fronts that we must push reset in our assessment of Europe's course. Americans today should learn a bit about how Europe has quietly and incrementally added to its size and global weight and maintained an innovative approach to broad public challenges like renewable energy, capital punishment, social welfare, and even corporate dynamism."--Steve Clemons, director of the American Strategy Program at the New AmericaFoundation, author of the political blog, The Washington Note
