Abstract

After the Second World War, European construction and the fulfilment of the national economic policy objectives of European Economic Community (EEC) countries formed a virtuous circle: the pursuit of policy objectives was facilitated by European construction, and the latter was greatly helped by the achievement of both full employment and rapid growth. The EEC was a means to the ultimate ends of economic activity; that is, rising standards of living in a cohesive society that could offer all its members a job and an opportunity for progress. The question ‘Why Europe?’ had such a self-evident answer that it was not even raised.
