Recommendation
Pierpaolo Barbieri and Shahin Vallée suggest that the European Union today needs a “policy leap,” resembling the one Alexander Hamilton – the first US treasury secretary – initiated in 1790. Barbieri and Vallée draw historical lessons from the United States, Germany and Switzerland, which all in their unique ways evolved from loose federations to become strong, unified entities. getAbstract recommends this Foreign Affairs article to historians, political scientists and Europeans in general.
