Stephen Hill Linkography: EU On Top


Interview: Monday 18 October 2010 - by Alissa Bohling for Truthout. While Europe is far from immune to the economic decline and resource scarcity it faces along with the rest of the world, Hill maintains that the continent still leads the globe in building political infrastructures that foster a shared and sustainable prosperity. He heaps plenty of praise on the EU, but he also acknowledges that the world's largest economy knows it still has work to do.

Europe’s Promise – A Cover Interview
Book review: Posted 31 March 2010 - Rorotoko.Hill's book provides a number of interesting facts on Europe's economic strengths
and dismisses many myths Americans tend have about Europe. First, Europe produces nearly a third of the world’s economy, that's almost as large as the U.S. and China combined. Second, Europe has more Fortune 500 companies than the U.S. and China together. Third, small businesses account for two thirds of the jobs created in Europe. Fourth, Europe is the largest trading partner with both the America and China. And last, Europe's annual growth rate was higher than the U.S. from 1998-2008.

Europe vs the US: Seven Reflections
Article: 26 January 2010 - cafebabel.com: The European Magazine. The EU has produced a ‘Eurosphere’ with some 2 billion people - one third of the world - linked by trade, aid and investment to the EU. So, if Europe isn’t the leader of the world now, who is? China? India? It will be decades - if ever - before these developing countries will achieve Europe or America’s prosperity level. In a make-or-break century beset by a worldwide economic crisis, global warming and geopolitical tensions, the European model has the potential to carry the world forward.
