In 2020, after three and a half years of bitter negotiations, Britain left the European Union. For some it was a day of freedom, for others a tragedy which would leave Britain isolated and poorer. Vote Brexit, the Remain campaign warned us, and it would be an act of self-harm. The economy would collapse, sending prices and unemployment soaring. Meanwhile, in contrast to xenophobic, inward-looking Britain, the EU would soar ahead without us.

But is that really what has happened? Ross Clark reveals just how badly the EU is doing - and how in many ways Britain is doing better. Since Brexit, for example, the UK economy has grown faster than Germany's. In spite of inflation which followed the pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine, Britain has the lowest food prices in Europe. The air is cleaner than in many countries. Despite recent events surveys suggest there is less racism and xenophobia in Britain than in almost any other European country.

For years, European economies have been far more sluggish than those of other developed countries. In the absence of economic growth and with high migration, European societies are strained. The far right is advancing and public disillusionment with the EU growing quickly. While Britain shares many of Europe's problems to a greater or less extent, this hard-hitting polemic argues that it now has the means to disentangle itself from the EU's draw strings set off on a more prosperous path.©2025 Ross Clark Europa Gran Bretagna Politica e governo Relazioni internazionali Scienze politiche

Recensioni della critica

A measured but powerful polemic on the extreme dysfunction of the EU and the opportunities, as yet barely taken up, that have opened up to the UK now that we have left it
No one cuts through Euro-technicalities better than Ross Clark. He makes an important point - that Europe is in crisis, but Brexit has left the UK with tools at its disposal to respond to that crisis. It's funny, informative and has fresh insight on every page. If you try to understand Europe without reading this book, you're probably getting it wrong
