Many on the Left see the European Union as a fundamentally benign
project with the potential to underpin ever greater cooperation and
progress. If it has drifted rightward, the answer is to fight for
reform from within. In this iconoclastic polemic, economist Costas
Lapavitsas demolishes this view. He contends that the EU's response
to the Eurozone crisis represents the ultimate transformation of
the union into a neoliberal citadel that institutionally embeds
austerity, privatization, and wage cuts. Concurrently, the rise of
German hegemony has divided the EU into an unstable core and
dependent peripheries. These related developments make the EU
impervious to meaningful reform. The solution is therefore a direct
challenge to the EU project that stresses popular and national
sovereignty as preconditions for true internationalist socialism.
Lapavitsas's powerful manifesto for a left opposition to the EU
upends the wishful thinking that often characterizes the debate and
will be a challenging read for all on the Left interested in the
future of Europe.
