ACCLAIM

"There is no book as comprehensive as this. The quality of Fazi’s writing and the scope of his arguments make this an exceptional work – a must read!".

Steve McGiffen, assistant professor at the American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy (AGSIRD)

"The book really is very, very good".

Ann Pettifor, director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME)

"Thomas Fazi’s compelling history shows how flawed institutions, a weak tax system and bank-friendly financial codes produced the Eurozone crisis, and then how that debacle was transformed, country by country, into a crisis of public debts and an assault-by-bailout on Europe’s social model. Fazi thus builds a case for radical reform to save Europe from two lethal threats – the return of a vicious right-wing nationalism and the blindness of its own rulers".

James Galbraith, professor of government/business relations at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin

"Europe is experiencing today a moment not dissimilar to President George W. Bush’s 'Mission Accomplished' speech onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Our leaders are also celebrating the end of the crisis when, in reality, the battle for Europe is raging on the ground. Thomas Fazi’s book, poignantly entitled The Battle for Europe, narrates this war for the European Union’s integrity and basic values and devastates the vicious claim that 'there is no alternative' to our present march toward collective misery".

Yanis Varoufakis, professor of economics at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin

"In The Battle for Europe Thomas Fazi takes us to the front line in the struggle for progressive change in Europe. Those seeking pedestrian half-measures for reform will not find them in this book. Fazi goes to the heart of sickness of the European Union and proposes the fundamental changes required to achieve a Europe fit for working people. This is an essential book for anyone seeking an escape from the current dysfunctional austerity policies".

John Weeks, professor emeritus of economics at the University of London

"The Battle for Europe provides a solid, well argued 'political economy' of the current crisis. Methodically as well as concerning results, it enriches left debates about the crisis and the possible exits. Its particular strength lies in its capacity to demonstrate the class-politically motivated project of austerity based on economic analysis".

Walter Baier, economist and coordinator of the network transform!
