"2021: The New Europe" by Niall Ferguson

Niall Ferguson, my favorite historican, peers into the future of Europe, now in its critical moment.

The bottom line: the euro is still circulating, the euro zone is replaced by the United States of Europe, UK is no longer in the EU, unlike Poland, which stayed and adopted the euro (and is led by Prime Minister Radek Sikorski), with the accession of the six remaining former Yugoslav states—Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia—total membership in the U.S.E. rose to 28 (29 with the separation of Flanders and Wallonia); in 2021 the euro is being used by more countries than before the crisis.
