The Substantive Law of the EU: The Four Freedoms

Author: Catherine Barnard

This book focuses on the substantive law of the EU with regard to the free movement of goods, persons, services, and capital. An introductory chapter outlines the background to EU law in this sphere; the role of free trade theory, the development of economic integration until the present day, and the fundamental principles underpinning this development. The author makes judicious use of case studies to illustrate and develop central issues, diagrams and flowcharts to clarify the more complex areas of this sphere of EU law.

Who said we had to compete like this with one another for the same jobs in a global economic arena?
Who gave the WTO the power to control the flow of wealth outside the will of the people.
Workers have no voice in the process. Lech Walesa, leader of the Solidarity movement which played a major role in the fall of Communism and who later became the head of Poland's government, says this - I do not know much about business and economics but I do know this. Something is very wrong when ten percent of the population controls 100 percent of the wealth.
