- Summary:
- A quiet revolution has been occurring in post-World War II Europe. A world power has emerged across the Atlantic that is recrafting the rules for how a modern society should provide economic security, environmental sustainability, and global stability. In Europe's Promise, Steven Hill explains Europe's bold new vision, shattering myths and showing how Europe has taken the lead in this make-or-break century challenged by a worldwide economic crisis and global warming.
