Pragmatism need not be the equivalent of political inertia. It is about recognising the prevailing conditions in the legal-institutional order and the constraints they impose on any given initiative. Response to Thomas Fazi.
Thomas Fazi has replied to my article about EU federalism and the German Question. By way of reply, I elaborate on my initial position, while tackling related issues - German power, coercion, neoliberalism, power, class.
The primary problem in the EU is not German power, but the cross-border prevalence of the peculiar brand of euro-neoliberalism.
