Brown's battle plan for Europe
It's not often Chancellor Gordon Brown pens a pamphlet and publishes it in his own name. In fact, it's not often the Treasury publishes anything in any individual's name. So the fact the Treasury published a personally authored document by the chancellor on Thursday, should make us sit up and take notice. The paper is about Europe. The chancellor's central argument is that the old assumption that we progress from our national economies to an integrated European economy has been blasted out of the water by the global rise of China and India - forget the continent, it's the world that matters now. Europe has to learn to adapt, to compete and be flexible, he says.
