Publisher's summary
Why should America try to be more like countries that are worse in nearly every way?
Europe has been declining under the weight of its antiquated institutions, economic fatigue, moral anemia, and cultural surrender. Yet American politicians, technocrats, academics, and pundits argue, with increasing popularity, that Americans should look across the Atlantic for solutions to the nation’s problems, including on issues like health care, the welfare state, immigration, and a bloated bureaucracy.
In Eurotrash, David Harsanyi argues we are looking in the wrong place. By every economic and societal measure, the United States is more tolerant than Europe. It is more welcoming of immigrants, but also far more successful at assimilating them. Minorities do far better in United States. Our economy is dominant. Only one European company appears in top 10 lists of corporate powerhouses in the world and only seven in the top 50. Americans make up nearly half of the list.
Americans are far more charitable and happier than Europeans. Our slightly lower life expectancy and our slightly higher infant mortality rate are not a result of substandard care, but a statistical misunderstanding based on the fact we treat every life as one worth saving.
In this biting, fast-moving, and well-researched polemic, Harsanyi debunks prevailing notions about European supremacy and makes an unapologetic case for American exceptionalism, offering insight and reasoned arguments to counter current policy prescriptions.

Story
Just 30 years ago, socialism seemed utterly discredited. An economic, moral, and political failure, socialism had rightly been thrown on the ash heap of history after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Unfortunately, bad ideas never truly go away — and socialism has come back with a vengeance. A generation of young people who don’t remember the misery that socialism inflicted on Russia and Eastern Europe is embracing it all over again.

Story
A major American intellectual makes the historical case that the reforms of the 1960s, reforms intended to make the nation more just and humane, instead left many Americans feeling alienated, despised, misled - and ready to put an adventurer in the White House. Christopher Caldwell has spent years studying the liberal uprising of the 1960s and its unforeseen consequences. Even the reforms that Americans love best have come with costs that are staggeringly high - in wealth, freedom, and social stability - and that have been spread unevenly among classes and generations.

Michael Anton, the author of that controversial viral essay, now says that the last few years have only served to prove his Flight 93 thesis: The left has become more aggressive, more vindictive, and more dangerous - and the stakes have never been higher.

Revolt is an eloquent and provocative challenge to the prevailing wisdom about the rise of nationalism and populism. With a vibrant and informed voice, Nadav Eyal illustrates how modern globalization is not sustainable. He contends that the collapse of the current world order is not so much about the imbalance between technological achievement and social progress or the breakdown of liberal democracy as it is about a passion to upend and destroy power structures that have become hollow, corrupt, or simply unresponsive to urgent needs.

Story
The world is in turmoil. From India to Turkey and from Poland to the United States, authoritarian populists have seized power. As a result democracy itself may now be at risk. Two core components of liberal democracy - individual rights and the popular will - are at war with each other. As the role of money in politics soared and important issues were taken out of public contestation, a system of "rights without democracy" took hold. Populists who rail against this say they want to return power to the people. But in practice they create a system of "democracy without rights."

In 21st century America, the top 0.1 percent of the wealth distribution have walked away with the big prizes even while the bottom 90 percent have lost ground. What’s left of the American Dream has taken refuge in the 9.9 percent that lies just below the tip of extreme wealth. Collectively, the members of this group control more than half of the wealth in the country - and they are doing whatever it takes to hang on to their piece of the action in an increasingly unjust system.

From the best-selling authors of The Right Nation, a visionary argument that our current crisis in government is nothing less than the fourth radical transition in the history of the nation-state. Dysfunctional government: It' s become a cliché, and most of us are resigned to the fact that nothing is ever going to change. As John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge show us, that is a seriously limited view of things. In fact, there have been three great revolutions in government in the history of the modern world.

Only once in the last 250,000 years have humans stumbled upon a way to lift ourselves out of the endless cycle of poverty, hunger, and war that defines most of history. If democracy, individualism, and the free market were humankind’s destiny, they should have appeared and taken hold a bit earlier in the evolutionary record. The emergence of freedom and prosperity was nothing short of a miracle.

Yet the empirical evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs across the ideological spectrum.

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to “the people”, who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole.

Details on many ways Europe is lacking
Europe is a beautiful place with deep cultures, but their political systems are not something the US should imitate. Americans have high standards of living, are more generous, and have more freedoms. Mr. Harsanyi , as the son of immigrants from a European communist country, elucidates the many ways the US has it better.

Great insights; My experience matches up
I’ve spent a ton of time in Europe as well as the US. Most of what he says I agree with. He convinced me of his broad point that living in the US is better than Europe. I’ve gotten a sense for many years that Europeans are as a whole very pessimistic about the future and that the bureaucracy is everywhere. The folks I know there are great but the country doesn’t seem as vibrant as the US. Young people in particular seem to have it hard.
Towards the end of the book he talks about one or two kids in Europe who died. I won’t talk about the details there, but those stories conveyed to me most succinctly the problems of European bureaucracy. It was horrible. It reminds me of Kafka’s The Trial.

Bad Title, Important Book
We're constantly being told that America should be more like Europe. This is a step by step walk through all the reasons that's a terrible idea, unless you're looking for comfortable deck chairs on the Titanic. The narrator was unusually good. Really appreciated his hard work to pronounce names and words from a number of languages.
Great ideas, would have been more intellectually convincing if he could have kept his tone less sarcastic.

Solid 8/10
Overall does a very good explaining the differences in political structures, cultural and societal fabric, and the different outcomes between US and Europe. However, talks about how poor people aren’t as generally as poor as they are in Europe but then ignores the fact that if you are as poor in America as a poor European there is significantly less of a social safety net perpetuating cycles of poverty and the problems that come with it.

The EU Myth
Masterful deconstruction of pervasive propaganda about the European quality of life. The European Union mission to have a common currency to compete w the USA morphed into something sinister. Their collectivism goals are undermined by our Constitution. So, eliminating our rights that stand in opposition to their objective is necessary and the curriculum at our school systems is an ideal foundation to achieve this.

Potentially misleading
Great thought-provoking topics with sometimes dangerously framed metrics leading to dystopian or wrong conclusions about how Europe really is. (e.g. neglects the long historical background of today's European cultures starting with the Roman Empire in comparison with the relatively short history of the American continent) Nevertheless worth to be listened to with caution!
