دانلود کتاب Towards an Imperfect Union: A Conservative Case for the EU

This is an important project: Dalibor Rohac has identified an issue that will help determine the future of Europe.--Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and columnist. Dalibor Rohac is writing an important book: to defend and reform the European Union, which has liberalized markets in goods and services and thereby raised living standards for millions, from the socialists who have hijacked the European project and from the conservative Euroskeptics who fail to realize that Europe s demise will enhance protectionism and socialism at the national level. This book will be a must read.--Kenneth Weinstein, president and CEO of Hudson Institute. This is a very promising project. It doesn't fit in the mindless attacks on the EU by both right wing and left wing eurosceptics nor in the mindless support of the EU by usually left wing academics and Brussels bureaucrats. At a deeper level, the target is not just the EU as such but integration itself. Its nationalist enemies want to reserve more power at home in the name of a commitment to a nonexistent value called or intimated as absolute sovereignty. In reality, they don't want to be scrutinized by foreigners - only benefit from their economic cooperation and generosity. It's high time someone holds up from a conservative perspective integration as the best road to peace and prosperity.--Charles Gati, The Johns Hopkins University. If you think that Euroscepticism is a conservative project, then think again: Dalibor Rohac makes the Hayekian case for the European Union and it will surprise you.--Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize winning author and director, Transitions Forum, Legatum Institute. There is a conservative, freedom-based case for the European Union, and this book is the very best place to find it. This is a highly original and readable treatment of some of the most important issues facing the world today.--Tyler Cowen, Holbert L. Harris Professor of Economics, George Mason University, and general director, Mercatus Center. In this timely and convincing study, Dalibor Rohac holds up not just the European Union but integration itself as the best road to peace and prosperity and he does so from a conservative perspective. His message is critically important for those on the right and on the left who are in the process of undermining the West s single most outstanding achievement since World War II. --Charles Gati, Senior Research Professor of European and Eurasian Studies, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies

Timely, powerfully argued and well researched Rohac nails the factual errors and logical flaws in the conservative Eurosceptic case. --Edward Lucas, senior editor, The Economist

Dalibor Rohac has written a very important book. He convincingly undermines the arguments of the fundamentalist opponents of the European Union while equally skillfully unmasking the EU s weaknesses and excesses and pointing out the necessary reforms. --Leszek Balcerowicz, Warsaw School of Economics; former minister of finance, Poland
