In this book, long overdue, David and Vincenzo guide both the novice and the experienced investor on the journey of careful investing in Europe. In this book, David and Vincenzo guide the fundamentals of economic competitiveness, currency volatility, and tax considerations.

His kind visage appears too infrequently on business television, where he is a rare breath of sanity amongst the professional hucksters and charlatans.

Whether or not the EU outperforms the U.S. economy as they suggest, the mere fact that credible observers are thinking about such possibilities represents a revolutionary, potentially destabilizing trend for the United States. Global investors must consider their arguments carefully.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eChristopher Whalen\u003c\/b\u003e, Cofounder, Institutional Risk Analytics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Kotok and Sciarretta's volume provides a crucial view of the U.S.-EU competition for economic and financial preeminence in the post–credit crisis world. As the U.S. adopts more liberal democratic institutions, the EU's shift away from those same principles creates the potential for a crossing point in economic and financial preeminence. The volume is therefore a valuable starting point for viewing the dynamics of the potential shifts in global hegemony and investing accordingly.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eDr. Joseph R.
