The European way

Lunchtime Forum

The European Union has become the largest, wealthiest trading bloc in the world — nearly as large as the U.S. and China combined — all while providing an exceptional quality of life to its citizens and maintaining a per capita carbon footprint half that of the United States. How do they do it? Join author Steven Hill as he gives us the answers from his new book Europe's Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age.
