How the European Union Turned Into a Neoliberal Nightmare

[unblock]

7. i see it at this stage as an economic union without a political union.

and therein lies the problem, though it suggests that the solution is "more" rather than "less".

if the eu were, politically, more like a federal system, including some federal elections, that would go a long way to fixing a lot of its political problems.

in terms of the neo-liberalism lens, you could say that this would lessen if the eu bureaucrats were under the direction of leaders who were, presumably, social democrats or something like that.
