Presents an analysis of the costs and benefits of EU membership. This book shows that the net economic effect of EU membership is close to zero. It does not argue for Britain's withdrawal. But, it says, withdrawal should 'not be dismissed as a practical option for the nation, if membership imposes conditions that the country finds onerous'.
