"Thought the first few chapters were fascinating comparing the Europeans to Americans, but skipped much of the middle as was too philosophical for me. Luckily, the last few chapters were more readable. Should make for an interesting book club discussion with both Americans and Europeans (and one Kiwi) around the table."
"I feel like I live between two worlds - I'm grateful to be an American for the opportunities it has given me, but I agree a great deal with the European way of thinking and quite a few of their social goals. I align with some of the European ways of thinking regarding education, possessions, time. I enjoyed the history that this book provided and some of the philosophy behind it."
"In 'The European Dream' Rifkin argues that the European approach to governance is better suited to an increasing interconnected world and a higher overall standard of living than the American approach of self sufficiency and individualism. He presents as evidence for this conclusion: GDP, poverty rates, education levels, life expectancy, health care, environmental stewardship and a host of other factors which indicate that the US may be a nation in decline, while the European Union is in the ascendancy. Not one to overlook contrary evidence, Rifkin outlines growing problems in Europe which could derail future progress.
While very much a story still being written 'The European Dream' provides an interesting assessment of the political landscape and possible future directions for the western world."
