During the chaos of the eurozone crisis, few mainstream commentators
have stopped to question the purpose of the European Union itself, and
whose interests it serves. Corporate Europe goes beyond the divisions
between nation-states, focusing instead on the division between the
corporate elite and the peoples of Europe.
David Cronin spent a year investigating the privileged access that big
business enjoys in Brussels. In this book, he reveals how the EU’s
policies on health, climate change, armaments and food safety have
been tailored to please an unaccountable elite. Making extensive use
of previously unpublished documents, he explores how ideologically
blinkered lobbyists have seized on the financial crisis of recent
years to entrench the casino capitalism that caused the crisis in the
first place.
What emerges is a powerful exposé of how vested interests in the EU
have manipulated opportunities to introduce ideologically-driven
reforms.
