A United Europe in the 21st Century: Eclipsing the American Dream?
In his book The European Dream, Jeremy Rifkin contends that (and shows how) Europe's vision of the future is quietly eclipsing the American Dream. In this essay, Rick Steves folds his European experience with Rifkin's look at the emerging European Union. Rick's passion is to share the insight he's gained through his travels in order to challenge fellow Americans to make our country a better place — both for Americans and for our global neighbors.
