Is the EU Constitution dead in the water?Although it may have disappeared from the headlines, right-wing European leaders have not given up on pushing through a binding EU text providing total freedom for goods, services and capital but few advantages for Europeans. A more neo-liberal anti-democratic document than the one rejected by the French and the Dutch may be hard to imagine, but the new reform treaty tries hard. What do they have in store for us? What should European people be fighting for?Leading writer and alter-globalisation activist Susan George explains what is at stake for all peoples of Europe. What must we reject and how will such a document affect our lives? Who will it really empower--corporations or ordinary Europeans? What kind of future do we want to build together as Europeans? Written with clarity and authority, We the Peoples of Europe will help you make up your own mind.

* A robust and unflinching account of the ongoing take-over of politics by global corporations * Lifts the lid on the world of lobbying, trade negotiations and treaties, in particular the controversial TTIP and its likely ramifications for national sovereignty in Europe and in the US.

Crisis? Whose crisis? Today we are in the midst of a multifaceted crisis which touches the lives of everyone on the planet.

Major new book from Susan George - a leading political commentator whose previous books have been massively influential and widely read and reviewed. Fascinating, thorough and often chilling account of this decades-long transformation of American society and political culture.
