Closer to Dawn? It is now one year since my book "European Dawn" was published and presented in London. It is now in its second printing. For me, it feels like longer because of all the things that have taken place. About 25 lectures - in, for example, Brussels, Washington, DC, Milan, Vienna and Bratislava - numerous debates, interviews, reviews and media appearences. I shall not attempt to evaluate its effect or how the debate and economic policies in Europe have developed during this year. But there has been a lot of attention, and quite a few of Europe′s leading editors, politicians and economists have openly said that they are inspired by it. There is a need for plain speaking and a message that reveals the causes for the problems and dares speak up about solutions - without political correctness. Evaluations are essential, and I think this has been a good start.
