Daniel Hannan, a British member of the European Parliament and journalist, has written an important and thoughtful book on the United States, The New Road to Serfdom.
Hannan first became known to many Americans for his speech on the floor of the European Parliament where he said to then Prime Minister Gordon Brown "You cannot spend your way out of a recession." Daniel discusses why a Tea Party movement can occur in America and not in Europe, and why the European social-welfare model, toward which Obama and other socialists are moving America, is diseased and unsustainable.
