Book Review of Europe’s Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age
Book review: Posted 31 January 2010 on Folkpolitics by the Liberal Arts Dude. (Provides an excellent overview of Europe's Promise.)The reviewer found Hill's book fascinating and recommended that it deserves to be read widely in the United States. More specifically, he suggested that American public policy makers, politicians, pundits, and those who have power to craft public opinion and policy should read it and take a long hard look at American institutions, economic practices, policy-making, etc. and ask themselves –"Are we doing the best job that we can do and getting the results we intended?"

Europe's Promise by Steven Hill
Book review: Posted 10 April 2010 - Will blog for food by John. An excellent book review! So don’t be put off by the blog’s title or the length of the review. John’s style of writing and knowledge of the subject makes this a fascinating read. He agrees with Hill’s assessment of the current situation and goes on to make a number of thought provoking comparisons between the policies of U.S. and European governments (Norway in particular).

Myth 10: Europe is Turning Into ‘Eurabia’ While its Own Population Is Dying Out
posted: March 16, 2010 | Economic Opportunity Institute. The facts are clear, Muslim immigration in Europe currently represents a mere 3% of Europe’s total population. This is hardly an Islamic tide. Hill argues that by raising the age of retirement, allowing a reasonable rate of immigration, increasing the number of women in the labor force, and continuing its long term productivity gains, Europe should be able to cope with demographic uncertainties and their impacts on its social systems.

Myth 5: Europe is a socialist nest of government interference and intervention.
Posted 14 March 2010 - Washington Policy Watch .
Europe is completely capitalist, not socialist, with more Fortune 500 companies and more small businesses than in the U.S. But Europe has figured out how to harness capitalism’s tremendous wealth-creating capacity so that its prosperity is broadly shared.

What Obama Can Learn from Old Europe
Posted: 28 January 2009 - Huffington Post. Also posted: 08 January 2009 at War Is A Crime.org with title: What Obama can learn from Europe . In spite of the economic crisis, the European Union intends to make energy and climate change a “win-win situation. Additionally, they intend to implement several far reaching conservation steps and enact the world's most ambitious carbon-trading program. Thus, more green jobs will be created and investment in the low-carbon economy of the future can be promoted.

My Lunch at the European Commission: Why is Europe Losing the Public Relations Battle to China?
Article: 22 December 2010 – Social Europe.eu. The European Commission is the most important body that Americans – and far too many Europeans – have never heard of. As the executive branch of the European Union, it is on a peer level with President Barack Obama and his Cabinet, yet the public hardly knows it exists or what it does. Hill regards the EU as the greatest attempt by humans to address the most pressing challenges of the 21st century, including global economic development, security and climate change.
