Good book, but rather dated in the end, what with the Constitution being voted down in France. It begs for a revised edition by Rifkin. The ascendancy of the EU - even within Europe - is hardly a done deal. I feel there is a good chance for some high conflict from the leaders of Germany and France as they realize that the EU is no longer their puppet. ( )

I extracted important information about the EU from this book. Nevertheless, I was disturbed by the tone of this book. I think that Rifkin overlooked the darker side of the EU; if he had included both the negative and the positive aspects of the EU's new found power it would be a more balanced book. ( )
