Description: * Shortlisted for 2016 European Book Prize* Giles Merritt describes himself as a 'sceptical europhile'. For many years among the foremost commentators on the politics and economics shaping Europe he was named by the Financial Times as one of 30 Eurostars who are the most influential voices in Brussels. Slippery Slope is far from the usual run of uncritical EU - related studies. Its aim is to set alarm bells ringing across Europe with its revealing insights into our increasingly troubled future. Giles Merritt argues that the steepness and suddenness of Europe's decline in the Asian century will depend on the actions we Europeans undertake. And there are two key lessons that we need to face from the beginning. Firstly the 'good times aren't coming back without a massive effort on our part. And secondly in a fast - developing world of 9 - 10 billion people no single European country can survive and prosper on its own. Merritt sets out to sort fact from fiction in his analysis of Europe's weaknesses and the policies needed to address them. Placing the outlook for Europe in its global context he assesses Europe's decline in relative as well as absolute terms and puts forward an ambitious but realistic 'to do list for Europe's policymakers if our comparatively privileged life styles are not to be seriously threatened in the coming years. In the wake of Brexit; this is a hard - hitting warning that unless Europeans shake themselves awake their future will be increasingly gloomy. Anyone who believes that the economic crisis that began in 2008 is just a blip will find this book a salutary lesson in the reality of Europe's position.
