The latest issue of Economic Affairs is a special edition examining the governance of the European Union. Leading academics and experts examine the EU constitution, the European Court, the European Convention and inter-jurisdictional competition in a European context. Other articles examine Hayek's The Road to Serfdom after 60 years, the patent system, measuring inflation, the legacy of Keynes and North American electricity policy in the light of the recent blackouts. There are also regular columns on the City, education, the environment and the economics of government, and book reviews.
