The fate of the transatlantic economy is the transcendental challenge facing the European Union and the United States. Governments on both sides of the Atlantic have a self-interest, as well as a responsibility to the world community, to work together in this time of economic upheaval both in dealing with the crisis and in devising Euro-American economic initiatives to ensure a more sustainable and prosperous future. This effort will require a shared EU-U.S. vision and a set of transatlantic best practices that will support mutual interests and elaborate an economic governance structure that better reflects the diffusion of interests in the modern international system. In this new report, two authors, from either side of the Atlantic, argue that Europeans and Americans need to work together to broaden and deepen the transatlantic market; reform the multilateral trading system; restructure the World Bank and IMF; better coordinate monetary, fiscal, and financial sector policies; improve ties with the developing world; and jointly address the challenges posed by China, India, and other emerging market economies.

Exploring the complex origins of anti-American sentiment, this book delves into the deep-rooted historical, cultural, and political factors that contribute to this pervasive issue. It emphasizes that understanding these multifaceted roots is essential for addressing the challenges facing America today. The narrative reveals that solutions are not straightforward, urging readers to confront the intricate realities of global perceptions of the United States.
