With Britain voting to leave the EU, now is the time for an obituary for the EU as an institution. In this short, rigorously argued book John R. Gillingham tells the history of an idea that has soured and withered away. From its origins as a means to protect Europe, to the formation of the common market, it has now become an instrument for a federal Europe that no body wants, as well as a series of costly and ineffectual institutions that do nothing except leak money. Here, Gillingham reveals the failures at the origin to set out what the EU was; the role that Delors played in creating the neoliberal monster it is today and the contemporary crises: refugees, Ukraine and Greece - that the current institution fails to deal with.
