Description

Businesses and business representative organizations are constantly complaining about the effects of European Union laws, policies, and regulations. In 1992, Britain benefited by withdrawing from the European Unions Exchange Rate Mechanism and programme of Economic and Monetary Union. This study provides a detailed guide to the economic and political case for British withdrawal from the EU bloc as a whole. Major general arguments for withdrawal are that: (a) the economic costs of EU membership substantially exceed the benefits, and (b) withdrawal is necessary to restore democracy, business and market freedom, the rule of law, and other basic features of a modern liberal social order. Contents: 1. The Case for Britains Withdrawal from the European Union: an Overview 2. The Main Non-EU Sources of British Wealth 3. The Economic Costs of EU Membership 4. The Political Constitutional Case for EU Withdrawal 5. The Free Trade Case for EU Withdrawal 6. The Removal of EU Regulatory Burdens 7. The Benefits of Monetary and Economic Policy Independence 8. The Case for Fiscal Independence
