Brussels, Belgium, Jun. 2 (UPI) — Last year, U.S. author and social critic Jeremy Rifkin wrote a best-selling book called “The American Dream” in which he predicted that the EU’s vision of the future would quietly eclipse the United States’.
That EU dream now lies in tatters after the emphatic rejection of the bloc’s first constitution by voters in France and the Netherlands — a double whammy that could deal a fatal blow to the ambitious blueprint for an enlarged union.
You’ll seldom go wrong betting against Jeremy Rifkin.
