Summary/Abstract: The global financial crisis is forcing Europe to become an ever closer union. Governments are still balking at the idea and many EU citizens continue to be rather sceptical. Yet the situation calls for a new approach to how we think about and do things. We believe that we need the United States of Europe. We also think that we need to fight for our future. “Solidarity, security, strength should become the stated goals of the United States of Europe,” our author Joachim Fritz-Vannahme demands. “Europe needs democratic effectiveness, economic stability and solid, as well as social, union. This is already stipulated in the treaties. It must now become reality.”
