Had to read for my class on European economic integration. Really great book, even though it is DENSE. I can see why my professor used it. Not so sure about suggesting it to someone just inquiring on the subject, though.

Good insights and grasp of the subject. However, the writing is terrible!

Read here.

Quite obviously, I didn’t read the WHOLE textbook, BUT I spent such a big part of my last days studying for this subject and reading the same passages over and over again, that I definitely deserve this (or, otherwise, I won’t even get close to my reading goal lol). I got a nice grade though, so I’d say it was worth it, and the book was actually helpful and cleared some doubts for me!
