Markets and Moral Regulation: Cultural Change in the European Union by Paulette Kurzer
2001/210pgs

Another class required reading, however, unlike many other textbooks, this one has a different view on what the EU has done for cultures. It examines how policies within the EU has change long held cultures or is possibility changing national identities within the next generations.

The author looks at the Drug policies in the Netherlands, the ban on abortion in Ireland, and the Alcohol identity of Nordic nations. It examines the before the EU policies, exemptions, and where the culture is moving today. It is very fascinating to see nations evolve with the creation of the EU.

If one is fascinated with how the EU has impacted a few cultures, this is an interesting read.

Happy Reading,
