World we`re in

Widening his perspective from country (examined in previous volume, “The State We`re In”) to world, Will Hutton calls for Britain and Europe to offer alternatives to the American Way. Under President Bush America has been forthright in its isolationism – until the attack on the World Trade Center – but whatever happens next, it is undoubtedly true that Bush will pursue a policy of America first. Hutton argues for a countervailing balance – economically and socially – to the American model. Only, he argues, by making Europe a strong bloc – and that means adopting the euro – will we have the leverage to influence the USA as we would wish, in an attempt to make Europe a safer, more prosperous place.
