Review:
`This is probably the most comprehensive attempt to quantify the costs and benefits of UK membership of the EU, certainly in recent years. . . The study is an interesting and deliberately provocative one that makes an important contribution to a long-standing debate in the UK.' -- Robert Read, Journal of Regional Science `The book makes a useful addition to the debates about the most appropriate future texture of Britain's relations with the EU. . .' -- Oliver Daddow, Journal of Contemporary European Studies `Minford, Mahambare and Nowell's book appears in the moment when there is a wide and serious discussion about the purpose and future direction of the EU. . . This is a thought-provoking book. It ought to be read by all interested in European integration.' -- Miroslav N. Jovanovic, Economia Internazionale `This is an important book for the business economist; an exemplary illustration of business economics in action. . . This book deserves to be widely read. By teachers and by experts on the analysis of international trade and of cartels in particular. By those who are interested in the changing structure of UK industry; it is particularly good on the services sector. And especially by economic commentators. . .' -- Christopher Johnson, The Business Economist `A controversial but courageous book of impressive scholarship.' -- The Commonwealth Lawyer `This penetrating and important analysis of the economic cost of the EU will no doubt be brushed aside by some but should be taken seriously by anybody who dares to think dispassionately. Patrick Minford and his colleagues have constructed a formidable case that cannot be ignored. Europe's so-called free trade turns out to be anything but free. Hopefully this book will prise open a more rational argument.' -- The Rt Hon Lord Lamont of Lerwick `This impressive study does two things brilliantly. It provides me with my first ever opportunity to agree with Patrick Minford on anything. It provides the public with a penetrating analysis of just what's wrong with our relationship with the EU. It isn't good for us.' -- Austin Mitchell, MP, House of Commons, UK
