From Old Europe, a New Roadmap
Book review: 19 July 2010 - Too Much, by Sam Pissigati. Millions of Americans know Europe. Or at least think they do. These Americans have climbed up the Eiffel Tower in Paris and ambled around the Coliseum in Rome and maybe even quaffed a stein or two in a German beer garden. But these Americans have missed the Europe most worth seeing and appreciating. Hill helps us understand that Europe has, by every measure that matters, the finest quality of life in the world.

Europe’s Promise – A Cover Interview
Book review: Posted 31 March 2010 - Rorotoko (an online venue featuring exclusive authors’ interviews on some of the most fascinating books coming out of some of the finest nonfiction and scholarly presses.) After the discussion, the interviewer said something of particular interest: “If a browsing reader were to encounter Europe’s Promise in the bookstore, I would like her or him to read the final few pages, and contemplate the final scene and probing question that ends the book.”

Repost: Europe’s Promise & Wall Street gangsters
Book review: 28 December 2010 - Darwiniana. Posted in Critique of Evolutionary Economy by nemo. The reviewer begins with a recommendation. "I recommend this book to anyone struggling with the massive doses of economic gibberish flooding the American media. It can help to put the situation into perspective, and as a self-defense against the market ideology that reigns over all public discourse."

Europe’s Promise: Why the European Way Is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age
Book review: Published January/February 2010 - reviewed by Andrew Moravcsik in Foreign Affairs. In this timely and provocative book, Hill, known primarily as an analyst of U.S. state and local reform, argues that the "social capitalist" policies of European countries represent best practices in handling most of the challenges modern democracies face today.
Europe's Promise by Steven Hill
Book review: Posted 10 April 2010 - Will blog for food by John. An excellent book review! So don’t be put off by the blog’s title or the length of the review. John’s style of writing and knowledge of the subject makes this a fascinating read. He agrees with Hill’s assessment of the current situation and goes on to make a number of thought provoking comparisons between the policies of US and European governments (Norway in particular).

Europe's Promise
Mentioned by Ian Traynor in his article 'Europe loses seat at top table', 8 February 2010 - The Guardian. Steven Hill, a director at the Washington-based New America Foundation, has just published a book, Europe's Promise, which argues that "the European way is the
best hope in an insecure age". He dismissed talk of the EU being "marginalised" in a G2 world. On the contrary, he emphasised that the Obama White House was under pressure from the EU on climate change and financial regulation. "This, of course, is the exact opposite of the view that Europe is irrelevant".

Who Wins in U.S. vs Europe Contest?
Book review posted: 12 February 2010 - Reuters International, by Bernd Debusmann. Pundits who see the European way of doing things as a model for the United States (and others) to follow are few and far between, not least, says one of them, Steven Hill, because most Americans are blissfully unaware of European achievements and, as he puts it, 'reluctant to look elsewhere because we are the best.’

Economic Democracy and Codetermination: Harnessing the Capitalist Engine
Book review: Posted 15 January 2010 - the Globalist (daily online magazine on the global economy, politics and culture).
In the aftermath of the economic crisis, the United States needs a new economic model — one that will decentralize power and put it in the hands of the workers. European advances in a distinct brand of 'social capitalism' are perhaps the most important innovations in the world economy since the invention of the modern corporation itself.

Book review: 01 November 2010 - Vienna Review (English language edition), reviewed by Joseph D. Rollwagen and Justin Mccauley. Hill offers policy
recommendations for a new American century by emulating Continental models. It’s not a perfect model; comparing Europe and the U.S. is comparing apples and oranges. Considering the extent of U.S. federalism, there are comparable areas of overlap, but there is also a limit to which you can juxtapose one large nation to 27 collective ones. America is the sum of all its parts, and so is the EU; however much of the EU’s dynamism comes from the fact that it is made up of sovereign states…
Review of Steven Hill's Europe's Promise: Why the European Way is the Best Hope in an Insecure Age
Book review published: Spring 2010 - EUSA Review, by Professor Dan Kelemen. (scroll down to book reviews)The two great strengths of Europe's Promise are its breadth and its accessibility. Hill manages to survey in one book an extremely rich cross section of the policies and political practices that make ‘The European Way’ distinctive. The book's weaknesses are the flip side of its strengths. In its pursuit of breadth and accessibility, it sometimes sacrifices depth and downplays the differences across European countries in many areas of public policy. Hill's book is very well written - in an engaging journalistic style. It makes a great contribution to European studies.
