The Lost Continent by Martin Kelly

The European Union is a de facto empire, its governors, the members of the European Commission, de facto satraps who wield almost unlimited and accountable power over the private lives and commercial affairs of nearly 500 million people. Its values are just as bankrupt as those concocted in the mental hellbroth of the American Enterprise Institute but the very fact of its existence holds great appeal for a great many continental Europeans, on an almost atavistic level.
